...doctor. A quiet only son who was strongly attached to his mother, Atta's father nicknamed him "Bolbol" - Arabic for a little bird. Mohammed El Amir recalls his son as a timid boy who avoided fights or squabbles between friends. "In his behavior, my son was almost like an angel," he said. "He is like a virgin girl in his politeness and shyness. Growing up he never got into mischief, he was soft spoken and God blessed him with a beautiful face...
...Name is Rar Rar were costumed in white clothes and angel wings, except for the vocalist, who sported red galoshes, a short, white and red sequined drum majorette costume, a grandmotherly white wig, and huge smears of make up across her face.

World-weary Fernando (German Jaramillo) has come home to Medellin "to die." This does not stop him from taking up with an angel-faced teenage killer named Alexis (Anderson Ballesteros). The kid was trained by the drug cartel but will off anyone who offends him or his lover. As deaths pile up, they have a comic effect; love apparently means never leaving the safety on. Full of sacrilegious rant, absurdist affectlessness and pop social criticism, this film plays like an old B movie: narratively improvisational, delusionally pretentious, weirdly watchable...
