Set in the frenetic city of Mexico City, *Las Lágrimas de Bael* follows Capitán Gato, a small-time drug dealer seeking revenge for his son’s murder. What began as a documentary about the criminal underworld has evolved into a fictional and unsettling portrait that blurs the line between reality and imagination. Through an innovative fusion of real locations, non-actors, and cinematic storytelling, the film offers a raw and emotionally charged exploration of a polarizing figure and the often-hidden truths of his daily life.
