One of my favorite Argentine films: Valentín

Title: Valentín
Released: 2002

Set in 1969 Buenos Aires, the film is the story of 8-year-old Valentín, a boy who, wise beyond his years, dreams of becoming an astronaut. He is raised by his grandmother after his parents all but abandon him. Despite his careless parents, Valentín dreams of being with his mother again. When his grandmother gets sick, young Valentín tries to resolve the family's problems. The best part of the movie is getting to know the adorable, charming yet adult-like character Valentín (Rodrigo Noya), who apparently in real life is much like his character. Despite the adult issues the film deals with, it is extremely heart warming and well done.
