About This Item
As son of the prominent doctor, professor and humanitarian Héctor Abad Gómez (Javier Cámara), Héctor Abad Faciolince (Juan Pablo Urrego) knew a loving and indulged upbringing in the Medellín of the '60s and '70s. His father's advocacy for the health needs of the poor, however, earned him enmity on the political right-and a tragically violent fate. Fernando Trueba's moving take on Faciolince's memoir also stars Maria Tereza Barreto, Whit Stillman. 136 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Spanish; Subtitles English; featurettes; theatrical trailers. In Spanish with English subtitles.
