World-weary author Fernando has returned to his native Colombia to live out his days in peace. But Fernando's once-quiet hometown has become a hotbed of violence, drugs, and corruption. On the brink of despair, Fernando meets Alexis, a beautiful but hardened street kid who lives by the rule of the gun. Together, they forge an unlikely relationship.

Los comentarios politicos de Fernando no aportan nada, es como escuchar a tu tio hablar paja. Igualmente el film tiene unos detalles super interesantes de como es la caraterización de la realidad de la ciudad por medio de la gente del común como los taxistas.

Sits between the intersection of ‘early 00s cinéma vérité thinkpiece on the Medellin cycle of violence through the lens of an aging writer and his murderous lovers’ or just straight up — ‘pedophilic surrealist dumpster-fire telenovella romance.’
