1-2 Special is an independent film distributor, founded in 2025. The company is based in New York.

Middle-aged and erratic, Oscar is a failed writer who has given up on life. Unemployed and living with family, he wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student offers a chance at redemption, if he doesn’t screw it up first. In a performance marked by darkly comic pathos, first-time actor Ubeimar Rios stars in Simón Mesa Soto’s Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner A Poet, a raw and riotous farce about how good deeds are often met with the universe’s idea of cruel and unusually poetic punishment.

directed by: Simón Mesa Soto
starring: Ubeimar Rios, Rebeca Andrade, Guillermo Cardona
2025 / 123 min / 1.66:1 / Spanish DTS-HD MA 5.1, 2.0
