2025 | B/N | 120:00
Óscar Restrepo’s obsession with poetry brought him no glory. Now aging and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows. Meeting Yurlady, a teenage girl from humble roots, and helping her cultivate her talent, brings light to his days—but dragging her into the world of poetry may not be the right path.
