Dr. Alemán 2008

Seeking to escape suburban boredom, Marc, an inexperienced medical doctor from Germany, travels to Cali, Colombia, on an exchange. No sooner has he arrived in the hospital than he is thrust into the operating room, as if in a war zone. The beautiful cartel capital of Cali is a battleground, which his conservative host family tries to keep him well away from. But Marc finds himself drawn to the dangerous life in the favela of Siloé, a picturesque neighbourhood of teenage hired assassins. There, he falls in love with the kiosk owner Wanda, a charming alcoholic. He soon gets trapped in the centre of the violent conflict between the gangs and has to come to a decision.
