Memories of My Father (El olvido que seremos) – Fernando Trueba \/ Colombia \/ 2022 \/ 136 min<\/h2>\n

Spanish with English subtitles<\/p>\n

Based on the legendary book Oblivion: A Memoir<\/em> by the Colombian writer H\u00e9ctor Abad Faciolince, and directed by Academy Award\u00ae winning director Fernando Trueba (Belle \u00c9poque<\/em>), the film tells of the life of the prominent doctor and human rights activist, H\u00e9ctor Abad G\u00f3mez (Javier C\u00e1mara), a father who is concerned about both his children and children from less favored classes.<\/p>\n

After a devastating loss in the family, H\u00e9ctor gives himself to the greater cause of public health programs for the poor in Medell\u00edn to the consternation of the city\u2019s authorities. The film straddles two eras: Faciolince\u2019s adolescence in Medell\u00edn in the 1970s, and his young adulthood in the \u201980s up until 1987 when his father was assassinated.<\/p>\n
