It's said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but one woman finds that her boyfriend's absence makes other men more fond of her in this romantic comedy. Beatriz (Karina Gidi) is a frumpy office worker in a Spanish community who often laments the sad state of her love life, especially compared to that of her sister Laura (Ana Karina Guevara), who runs a rooming house. Beatriz has all but given up on romance when she meets Carlos (Ari Telch) while dining at a local cafe. Carlos seems quite taken with her, and after a few dates, he invites her along for a romantic getaway. Beatriz's heart is quickly stolen away by Carlos, and when he suddenly goes missing, she finds herself pining for him. But while most men in town wouldn't give her a second look before, in Carlos' absence she suddenly cuts a sexy and alluring figure, and is soon dealing with more suitors than she knows how to handle, including her boss (Jose Sefami) and an architect who previously thought he was gay (Daniel Martinez). Karina Gidi's performance in Demasiado Amor earned her Best Actress honors at the 2001 Guadalajara Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Actor Diego Luna stepped behind the camera to direct this warm drama about a young boy whose emotional problems take him in an unexpected direction. Abel is an unstable child whose issues have only gotten worse since his father walked out on the family. No one in the household is sure what to do for Abel or how they should behave around him, and a stay in a mental hospital does little to ground him. However, one day Abel wakes up and decides that he's the man of the house, and begins acting like his absent father rather than the youngest child. To the surprise of everyone, adult responsibilities agree with Abel, and the family seems significantly happier with his new personality. But this proves to be short-lived when Abel's real dad unexpectedly returns, and the two vie for the status of head of the household. Abel received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
