Invited guest: director Laura Mora Ortega
Outside her Medellín home, 22-year-old Paula’s professor father is gunned down by a young assassin. Later, out with friends at a nightclub, Paula is shocked to see her father’s killer across the dance floor. She learns the man’s name—Jesús—and approaches him in hopes of seeking vengeance. Instead, an unlikely friendship develops between the two.
Laura Mora Ortega’s feature-film debut intermingles moments of anxiety and frustration by illustrating how both Paula and Jesús are the victims of a corrupt society—and how lives can fall apart in an instant.
