Uncle Roly (Tío Roly)

Directed by Dennis Velazquez
United States
2025
81 mins

In a dramedy tone, Uncle Roly tells the story of an incorrigible and rebellious relative who never followed the customs of social and family life. After many years of absence, two spoiled nephews – protected by overbearing parents and who have yet to decide what to do with their lives – must unexpectedly deal with their uncle on an unforeseen adventure to find  treasure in the Everglades. An insoluble cultural clash arises between the bilingual young Miamians and their uncle, who displays his apparent disregard for American social expectations as if it were a virtue. Life will never be the same again for any of them as the  hunt becomes a catharsis and a revelation of family secrets.
