EULAC CINEMA NIGHT - Sektempfang und Filmpreview von A POET

In the organizer's words:

EULAC CINEMA NIGHT | PREVIEW | As part of our NEWCOMER series

A POET
Oscar's restrepo obsession with poetry has not yet brought him fame.
He has become a living cliché of the unsuccessful poet, moody, often drunk and constantly broke. When he meets Yurlady - a teenager from the social underclass with astonishing talent - a spark of light germinates in his shadowy existence. His idea to present her at Medellin's poetry festival seems to become his next big misstep.

A POET (original: UN POETA) celebrated its world premiere in the "Un certain regard" section in Cannes and won the jury prize. The film is the second film by Colombian director and screenwriter Simón Mesa Soto.

We are showing the film as a preview as part of this year's Cinema Night: EU and Latin America and the Caribbean with the motto "Building bridges through shared stories".
