Synopsis
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.
Mack the Knife
In 19th century London, a young girl falls for a womanizing criminal and they decide to wed. Her family strongly disapproves so her father, 'the king of thieves', gets the gangster arrested.
