Synopsis |
|
The writer Fernando Vallejo returns
to Medellin, the city of his
childhood, after an absence of over
thirty years. Fernando meets Alexis,
16 years old, in a boys' brothel.
Alexis comes from the slums. He has
been drawn into a world of killing.
Love begins to blossom between
Fernando and Alexis. But their love
has no future… it is condemned
before the fact by the harsh reality
around them. Anyone who crosses his
path can be a possible victim.
Alexis needs no reason to kill: like
an Angel of Death, he openly fires
on anybody who rubs him the wrong
way… Bound by their passion for each
other, they wander from church to
church, murder to murder, each day
their love growing stronger. Then
one day, a passing motorcyclist
shoots Alexis down. He roams the
streets where, in spite of the
squalor and violence, everything
reminds him his romance with Alexis.
One day, he meets a young boy,
Wilmar, who at first glance looks
like Alexis. A new love story begins
for Fernando, as if in this city
reality has been turned upside down,
and the dead seem to come alive
again. |
