This award-winning psychological drama was the first directorial effort from filmmaker Jaime Rosales and tells the story of a young man who snaps under the weight of his monotonous life. Alex Brendemuhl plays Abel, a seemingly mild-mannered fellow. Abel's days are virtually indistiguishable from one another, with much of his time spent tending to his family's business. Eventually, the lack of change wears away at Abel and he reacts with viciousness and brutality. Las Horas del Dia is also known under the title The Hours of the Day.~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
