English
Pablo’s Word tells a family drama of a Salvadoran upper middle class. Pablo is the son of a lawyer whose past alludes a corruption scandal. His father has a new and rather young girlfriend, which makes Pablo quite uncomfortable leading him to get involved in a web of lies in an effort to convince his father that his girlfriend is being unfaithful to him with his stepson.

La palabra de Pablo cuenta un drama familiar de la clase media alta salvadoreña. Pablo es hijo de un abogado en cuyo pasado pesa un escándalo de corrupción. Su padre tiene nueva (y joven) novia, lo cual incomoda a Pablo y lo lleva a enmarañarse en un montón de mentiras intentando convencer a su progenitor de que la mujer le es infiel con su hijastro. Con tintes de cine negro, y construida a la luz de Shakespeare, esta historia está contada desde la perspectiva de una sociedad polarizada que no ha terminado de sanar los temas de su pasado.
