Starring José Eduardo Derbez, Ariadne Díaz, and Santiago Beltrán, Mi Tío (My Uncle) is a dark comedy that follows the life of Andy (José Eduardo Derbez), a frustrated musician with a broken heart, who has lost his way and is on the verge of taking his own life. His sister Sam (Ariadne Díaz) prevents the tragedy from happening by asking him to take care of her ten-year-old, Tadeo (Santiago Beltrán), a nerdy, hypochondriacal child, who softens his heart by making an unusual connection with him. Andy and Tadeo will both learn from each other’s very different personalities, to build a friendship and, above all, a true family.
