Our Lady of the Assassins
Directed by Barbet Schroeder
Produced by Les Films du Losange, Le Studio Canal+
A melancholic romance between a disillusioned man and a street-hardened youth set against the decay of a violence-ravaged Colombian city.
World-weary author Fernando has returned to his native Colombia to live out his days in peace. But Fernando's once-quiet hometown has become a hotbed of violence, drugs, and corruption.
