Poeta

Description

Oscar is an unsuccessful poet and a professional failure. He still lives with his mother, and when he isn't quoting himself, he stumbles drunkenly through the streets of Medellín. An offer to become a mentor to a young student brings him an unexpected chance to take his life into his own hands. If he doesn't mess it up again. This absurd comedy by director Simón Mesa Soto, awarded the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival, sharply illustrates how every good deed is followed by a cruel yet strangely poetic retribution.
