      Plot


      Junior, a nine-year-old, lives in Caracas in a shoddy apartment with his widowed mother and baby brother. He has "pelo malo," a Hispanic term for curly, Afro-textured hair, which he constantly attempts to straighten using various methods, including smearing mayonnaise into it. His hair is a source of frustration for both him and his mother, the latter because she does not approve of his obsession with his looks, believing that it is not normal behavior for a boy of his age.
      Junior and his neighbourhood friend, "La Niña," spend a lot of time in her apartment watching Venezuelan beauty pageants on TV. La Niña is a classic "girly girl," dressing like a princess and playing with makeup and dolls. Junior also enjoys the pageants, and when the time comes for them to take their school pictures, La Niña chooses to dress as a princess while Junior wants to dress as a singer with straight hair.
      His mother does not approve of his constant grooming and takes it to be a sign of his homosexuality. Twice she takes him to the doctor to find out if he is developing "normally," later being direct and asking the doctor if he is gay. When the doctor suggests he needs a stronger male influence at home, she brings home her boss and has sex with him, forcing Junior to watch them through his open bedroom door. Junior rolls over in his bed in an attempt to look away.
      Eventually his mother gives him an ultimatum- either shave his hair or move in with his grandmother, an older black woman who wants Junior to act more feminine as opposed to his mother's strictness. Junior agrees to shave his hair, and the movie ends.
