Synopsis
Break Up
Housewife Jimmy Dade stays with her violent husband, Frankie, even after his abuse leads to the loss of her hearing. When his car is found with an unidentifiable dead body inside, police officers John Box and Andrew Ramsey suspect Jimmy has killed him. But, after discovering her bank account has been emptied, Jimmy fears that Frankie is still alive, and she goes on the run -- with the police in pursuit.
El bolero de Rubén
Far from being a film about life in the gangs of Medellín, El Bolero de Rubén is a tragedy set to the rhythm of boleros where Marta, after fifteen years of waiting for her boyfriend to get out of jail, is consumed by the walls of her half-finished house; at the same time, her dream of becoming a singer takes her through imaginary places that reflect her frustration, rage and fear. Based on the homonymous play.
