DESCRIPTION:Pelo Malo (Bad Hair)\n\nFiction / Venezuela / 2013\n\n"A nine y
 ear old boy's preening obsession with straightening his hair elicits a tid
 al wave of homophobic panic in his hard-working mother\, in this tender bu
 t clear-eyed coming of age tale. Junior is a beautiful boy\, with big brow
 n eyes\, a delicate frame\, and head of luxurious dark curls. But Junior a
 ches to straighten those curls\, to acquire a whole new look befitting his
  emerging fantasy image of himself as a long haired singer. As the opportu
 nity approaches to have his photo taken for the new school year\, that ach
 e turns into a fiery longing. Junior's mother\, Marta\, is barely hanging 
 on. The father of her children has died\, she recently lost her job as a s
 ecurity guard\, and she now struggles to put a few arepas on the table for
  Junior and his baby brother. \n\nJunior doesn't even know yet what it mea
 ns to be gay\, but the very notion prompts Marta to set out to 'correct' J
 unior's condition before it truly takes hold. This is a story of people do
 ing what they feel they have to\, partly out of fear\, but also out of lov
 e."\n\n- Diana Vargas\, Toronto International Film Festival
