Yo

Matías Meyer

Mexico

2013

Yo is 30 years old, he is a strong man, but in his head, he will always be a kid. He lives with his mother, with whom he has a very close relationship. They live and work in a restaurant next to the highway. They sell roasted chicken.  Yo helps his mother in the restaurant by killing the chicken with a vacuum cleaner, this way the birds don't suffer. The clients of the restaurant like Yo, because he makes them laugh. When Pady, his mother’s new lover, arrives into their lives, the relationship between mother and son deteriorates. Yo is jealous, and he feels lonely. Fortunately, Yo befriends Elaine, an 11 years old girl who brings a little light into his life.
