"Debut feature from filmmaker and publicist Anwar Safa, awarded at the Guadalajara and Guanajuato film festivals, and winner of an Ariel for its young star, Martín Castro. 'El Jeremías' is the story of a child who, despite the precariousness of his family, discovers that he is a genius, which triggers a series of situations that make him think about what he wants to be when he grows up, even though he is only eight years old. Even if the performances can be a bit uneven and the cinematographic language of the film is merely functional, it is a funny and family-friendly story told with a lot of heart, with a special emphasis on Castro's performance."
