Los Conductos

61st TIFF: Greek premiere

Pinky has just freed himself from the grip of a religious cult, having found a job in a T-shirt factory, in Medellín, Colombia. As he strives to glue the pieces of his shattered life, memories of violence and manipulation haunt him, driving him to the futile path of revenge. Based on a true story (the real-life hero is the film’s protagonist), this documentary-type portrait of a tormented soul paves the way to catharsis and salvation.
