Carlos is the name of a newborn baby in Moscow. His mother is Russian and his father is Guatemalan. This is a problem for Carlos’ maternal grandparents, who begin to complain when they come to visit. Why did they not give him a Russian name? Why did their daughter choose to be with a foreigner? In FILM FOR CARLOS, filmmaker and father Renato Borrayo Serrano records the visit of his parents-in-law, the difficult relationship they share, as well as their dedication to the “Russian Empire.” The resulting combination of these ingredients is a family (home) movie that is both shocking as well as humorous and loving.
