OUR LADY OF THE ASSASSINS

Fernando, an old writer, returns to his village after a thirty-year absence and meets a young killer, Alexis, at a brothel for boys. The aging author rediscovers his city through the hate and violence-filled eyes of his sixteen-year-old lover. Until fate catches up with them.

This notoriously dangerous production was shot guerilla-style (an early example of HD video feature filmmaking!) on the cut-throat Colombian streets. Barbet Schroeder’s raw and visceral Spanish-language debut takes a burning look at drug trade warfare through a surprising story of impossible love.
