Synopsis
Oscar Restrepo’s obsession with poetry brought him no glory. Aging and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows. Meeting Yurlady, a humble teenager, brings some light to his days, but dragging her into the world of poets may not be the way.
Editorial
At once teasing and empathetic toward its hopeless protagonist, this Cannes prizewinner tussles tragicomic absurdities from threadbare ambitions. Parsing student-teacher relations for hilarious odd-couple antics, Colombian director Simón Mesa Soto undoes conventional verse with this riotous film.
