MATEO
2014 Oscar® Selection, Colombia

Threatened with expulsion and in danger of adopting a life of crime, 16-year-old Mateo must join a radical theatre group if he wants to turn his life around, reporting to his mob boss uncle about the troupe's politics and the unconventional priest who runs the program. To his surprise, Mateo begins to enjoy the eccentric bunch and begins to fall for star pupil Ana. Trapped between two worlds, Mateo must choose which path he really wants, in this heart-warming, inspirational drama that explores the true power of the arts.
