“A funeral car cruises the streets of Medellín, while a young director tells the story of his past in this violent and conservative city. He remembers the pre- production of his first film, a B-Movie with ghosts.

Anhell69 explores the dreams, doubts and fears of an annihilated generation, and the struggle to carry on making cinema.”
