The Night Shines (2018)
It is the final night for a 15-year-old girl before leaving the neighborhood where she grew up in a hilly suburb of Medellin. At midnight, she looks for the opportunity to meet again in secret with her 18-year-old boyfriend, Damián. He has just been transferred from prison to an undisclosed location to serve house arrest. A violent score-settling abruptly ends the clandestine meeting of these two impossible lovers.
