A Poet

Unemployed and living with his family, Oscar is a failed writer who drunkenly wanders the streets of Medellín. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student offers a chance at redemption, if he doesn’t screw it up first. Winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at Cannes, Simón Mesa Soto’s A Poet is a raw and riotous farce about the weight of unmet ambitions.
