No good deed goes unpunished, but for Colombian poet Oscar Restrepo (Ubeimar Rios) it seems that the rule applies to everything he does. His obsession with poetry has brought him no glory. Aging and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows. But when he meets Yurlady, a teenage girl from humble roots, he decides to help her cultivate her talent and bring some light to his days. Simón Mesa Soto’s comedy A POET examines the life of an artist, and then hilariously dismantles it.
