MEXICO - The Mistery of the Trinidad
El misterio del Trinidad

Bad news for ER doctor Eduardo Palomo: his ex-wife has stuck him with their daughter just as he's learned of his estranged father's death while in search of the wreck of the 18th-century galleon Trinidad. Bad news for the rest of the family: Palomo is an illegitimate son they've never heard of, and he's been bequeathed dad's salvage ship. Even as they—except for half-sister Rebecca Jones—scheme to break the will, he takes a voyage of reconciliation and discovery. Best Film, Direction among 10 nominations, Ariel Awards—and Palomo's last role before a fatal heart attack at the age of 41.
