Wonderfully original story

Warning: Spoilers
There are a lot of very funny things in this unusual story though I am sure some of the humor is lost in translation., for instance, the main character, the ten year old son of a Mexican drug lord, is continually referred to as "Cabroncito" which the according to the subtitles means " bonehead" but which my translator app says means something different. Regardless, the relationship between the father and son is quite touching, the former going so far as to take his son to Africa in search of a pigmy hippopatamos for the young boy's personal zoo, but, despite such grandiose indulgence, the little boy leads a rather lonely life in his papa's compound, cut off from other children his age and connected to the outside world only through his tutor, a failed writer, who Papa boasts is "the highest paid teacher in Mexico".. All in all "Down the Rabbit Hole" is an entertaining film, a story probably unlike anything you have previously seen.
