"La virgen de los sicarios" narra la historia de un escritor homosexual que
regresa a la ciudad de Medellín después de 30 años de ausencia y se enamora de
un sicario de 16 años que más tarde es asesinado.
El filme interpretado por "actores naturales" recoge el ambiente de violencia
de los barrios marginales de Medellín, las pandillas de sicarios, las bandas
de narcotraficantes en la década pasada y la contradictoria religiosidad de
los pistoleros adolescentes surgidos de los suburbios.
Es protagonizado por Anderson Ballesteros -el sicario- y Germán Jaramillo,
actor del "Teatro Libre" de Bogotá, que interpreta al hombre maduro.
A middle-aged man wanting to
revisit the city of his birth discovers time and corruption have taken a
terrible toll in this drama. Fernando (German Jaramillo) is a successful gay
writer who was born in Medellín, Colombia, but has lived in Europe for the
past 30 years. Feeling jaded and uninspired, Fernando decides to return to
Colombia after the death of his sister, who was the last surviving member of
his immediate family. Fernando remembers the Medellín of his youth as a
beautiful place, but now the city is the capital of the international drug
trade, and crime and urban sprawl have made it a harsh and dangerous place to
live.
At a party, Fernando meets Alexis (Anderson Ballesteros), a member of a
teenage street gang. The two soon strike up a friendship, as Fernando tries
to show Alexis what's left of the city he once knew, and Alexis teaches
Fernando the grim realities of life and death on the streets. Fernando and
Alexis become lovers, but despite their affection for each other, Fernando
does not fully understand the dangerous and volatile nature of life in the
new Medellín, which leads him into grave danger. La Virgen de los Sicarios
was written for the screen by Fernando Vallejo, based on his novel. Director
Barbet Schroeder shot the film on location in Medellín, using a digital video
camera in order to speed up production in the notoriously dangerous city.
