"Our Lady of the Assassins" is a Colombian film that dives deep into the harsh realities of life in Medellín, Colombia, during the height of drug-related violence and crime.

Much has changed - his family and friends are gone, the city has been transformed by the construction of an elevated subway, and drug cartels have turned the city into a terrifying place ruled by gangs of young assassins.

The tempestuous love story between Fernando, an older man who has recently returned to his crime-ridden drug capitol hometown of Medellin, Colombia and the gun-happy 16-year-old assassin Alexis, who murders all too easily. When Alexis himself is fatally gunned down, grief-stricken Fernando hunts for his young lover’s killer in the Medellin slums, but instead encounters Wilmar, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Alexis..


“Our Lady of the Assassins” is a powerful and unflinching portrayal of life in a city plagued by drug-related violence. Director Barbet Schroeder crafts a dark and atmospheric narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The performances of the cast, particularly the leads Fernando Vallejo and Alexis, are compelling and deliver the emotional depth needed for the story.

The film’s exploration of love in the face of chaos and destruction is both tragic and poignant. The cyclical nature of violence, with the emergence of Wílmar echoing Alexis’ actions, adds an unsettling layer to the narrative. “Our Lady of the Assassins” is a masterful work that challenges its audience to confront the grim realities of Medellín while delving into the complexities of human relationships and the impact of violence on society.
