Storyline

Víctor is a child who is found casually roaming by a country road. His mother, Patricia, a well-known lawyer who specializes in media trials, soon learns of her son being found. Victor is taken to hospital and his mother soon follows, where it is explained by the mother that Víctor is deaf and mute, but can communicate using sign language which is why Victor didn't answer any of the questions asked by police. In the police headquarter Víctor explains that he was kidnapped by a strange man when he entered his school. The police identify a possible suspect named Charlie, a man with money troubles and an 8-month pregnant wife. Charlie is unable to explain where he was when Víctor was kidnapped. Patricia, seeing the inability of the police to arrest Charlie, contacts her former love interest and Victor's father, Raúl, starting a chain of events, the consequences of which will be out of control.

User Reviews

Missing Boy

The subtitles made me wish my Spanish was either so much better that I could dispense with them, or so much worse that I didn't realize how poorly done the translations were (it was apparent that they were NOT done by a person FLUENT in BOTH languages). I really enjoyed the movie. It was well-acted, and had an intriguing plot, but at some point the plot twists did spiral out of control.
