La Vendedora de Rosas (The Rose Seller) ((1998, 116 mins) Spanish with
English subtitles
Directed by: Victor Gaviria
In the two days leading up to Christmas, a thirteen year-old Monica, a
Colombian street kid, tries to sell roses for money. Surrounded by a group
of fellow runaways and orphan who all get by through robbery,
prostitution, and drugs--mainly sniffing glue, Monica anticipates the
holiday, hoping that there will at least be some sort of party to attend.
Victor Gaviria's look at life on the streets of Latin America is
fascinating, bleak, and uncompromising look at an often forgotten
population.
