THE DARK SIDE OF THE HEART (EL LADO OSCURO DEL CORAZON) Tribute to Americas Film Festival

From the director of Man Facing Southeast comes a magnificent parable about one man’s battle against the forces of conformity. Oliverio is a handsome, defiant young poet whose search for the perfect woman leads him to Ana, a no-nonsense prostitute who admits that “a guy who likes poetry can’t be all bad” but charges him full price anyway. Their tumultuous relationship brings Oliverio to realize that the dark side of the heart can be illuminated, but love, like everything else in life, comes with a price tag. A film of prodigious imagination from a sublime talent-Eddie Cockrell
