About Cinco velitas
A woman leaves her son on his 5th birthday and goes out to look for what she doesn't have: a job. What could be just another party becomes complicated when a shrewd grandmother suspects that the child does not belong to her grandson's group of classmates.
Directed by Paula Romero Levit, Michelina Oviedo, Cinco velitas leans on a strong ensemble — Alejandra Darín, Gerónimo Arias, Rita Cortese — 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 2010.
