Glasgow Film Festival Gente de bien

Class remains the big divide around the world and is at the very heart of this witty, assured social drama. Ten-year-old Eric (Brayan Santamarià) is packed off to Bogota and a new life with his impoverished handyman father Gabriel (Carlos Fernando Perez). Everything is a struggle until well-off Maria Isabel (Alejandra Borrero) takes them under her wing. Eric is given a taste of how the other half live but he feels more unhappy than ever and keen to rebel in the most outrageous ways. The road to class conflict is paved with good intentions in this funny, thought-provoking tale.
