Nilo, mi hijo

Nilo, mi hijo is the most famous work by Caballero. It was filmed under the title La Casa del Pelícano ("The House of the Pelican").

The main character Nilo was played by well known and beloved Enrique Álvarez Félix. Nilo’s raped mother Margarita was Jacqueline Andere, and young Daniela Romo also appeared.
The film was shocking for some commentators who noticed a connection between castration of Nilo and Enrique’s difficult relationship with his mother.
On the poster for the film an egg is depicted. It is pierced by scissors. This is a symbolic representation of emasculation.
