Synopsis
El Jeremías tells the story of a precociously bright 8-year-old boy, ostracized by his peers and labeled a misfit for his intellectual and often pedantic tendencies. As he struggles with his newly bestowed status as local genius and the fight to be understood by his complacent and average family, Jeremy is suddenly faced with the most difficult decision a child savant could make: What does he want to be when he grows up?
