Crónica de un desayuno (2000)

The story unfolds in the early morning, with various characters and multiple problems. A cross-dresser (Eduardo Palomo) appears, as does a mature heartthrob who wears a toupee and is a train enthusiast. There is a couple on the verge of tragedy. A dysfunctional family lives in Mexico City. The father, “Pedro” (José Alonso), returns to his “strange” family after having left them. His children Blanca (Fabiana Perzabal), Teo (Miguel Santana), and Marcos realize that their father has come back and begin developing different (but similar) ideas about what his return means. Blanca and Marcos are very upset about it, and Blanca even suggests that Marcos get their father out of the house, by force if necessary. Minutes later, Blanca decides to leave home and, after ordering a taxi, leaves the house before their mother wakes up. Meanwhile, the family’s neighbors are caught up in their own troubles. The film is based on a stage play.
