About The Son of Santo
This is the story of Juan, a boy who feels the opression of his social environment and the abandonment. He confronts this reality through the image of his prefered mexican superhero, the lucha libre wrestler and film star Santo. Juan also believes that his father secretly was Santo, so he feels a link to him.
Directed by Adonay Guerrero Cortes, The Son of Santo leans on a strong ensemble — El Hijo del Santo, Juan Ramón 'Dante' Rodríguez, Fernando de la Mora — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
