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.

Persecution

Ayla is a conservatory student. Through a coincidence, she meets Tarık, a famous composer. They fall in love and soon become engaged. On a trip abroad, Tarık experiences one of Ayla's biggest traumas. This disaster will affect the fate of the duo in a bad way.
