Sinopsis
Emilio, in his fifties, shows up at the family home after a long absence. His stunned wife and son greet him bitterly. After a couple of days they decide to kick him out, only to find he has already left of his own accord. Drifting between fiction and documentary, Los mejores temas explores aspects of contemporary Mexico and the very process of representation and narrative in film.
