SIM 6N Mesa Soto / Colombia, Sweden, Germany / 2025 / 123 min / Spanish
A film about nothing but the poetic reality of a neurotic poet skillfully navigates between a comedy of discomfort and a touching drama about lost (and found again) hope. A unique film with an even more unique main character.
story
The love of poetry did not bring fame to Restrepo. "The eternal dreamer", as he describes himself, over the years has completely succumbed to the cliche of the Damned poet – or as his more successful colleague puts it: he turned into a poem, and even rather sadly.

Ko spozna Yurlady, nadarjeno najstnico iz revnega okolja, in ji začne pomagati pri razvijanju pesniškega potenciala, v Óscarjevo življenje posije žarek svetlobe. Toda njegovo vztrajanje, da dekle vpelje v muhasti svet pesnikov, morda ni najboljša ideja …
