It's 1967 Buenos Aires. Eight year old Valentín lives alone with his grandmother and is obsessed with being an astronaut. His Jewish mother is missing. His uncle Chiche and his piano teacher Rufo are his main friend. His womanizing absent anti-Semitic father Vincent brings home beautiful young girlfriend Leticia. Leticia is shocked by some of Valentin's innocent comments about his father and she breaks up with him.
The cross-eyed kid is really cute. There are a few great scenes. The plot meanders a lot and it feels a bit aimless. I don't want to be too negative about any part of the movie because the kid is so adorably effective. He just needs a more constant co-star to develop a relationship with.
