Storia
In 'Pelo Malo,' a nine-year-old boy becomes obsessed with straightening his naturally curly hair to resemble his idol, the popular TV character Chino y Nacho.

This concern escalates into panic when she fears her son might be gay due to his interest in his appearance and female pop stars like Lady Gaga. The film follows their strained relationship as they navigate this issue.
