Julio y su angel (1996)

On her deathbed, Julio's mother promises her eight-year-old son that she will send an angel to watch out for him. However, young Julio is soon sent to an orphanage and almost gives up on his mother's promise -- until he meets a a cranky widower in a churchyard, whom Julio, much to the widower's dismay, is convinced is an angel sent from above. The two become close, however, while Julio must hide from the henchman of the evil orphanage mistress.
