Tras una ausencia de treinta años, el escritor Fernando Vallejo vuelve a Medellín (Colombia), ciudad donde creció. No queda gran cosa de lo que había dejado: sus padres están muertos, una parte de la ciudad ha sido destruida, la mafia de la cocaína siembra el terror mediante bandas de asesinos... En un burdel de chicos encuentra a Alexis, (Anderson Ballesteros) de dieciséis años. Alexis forma parte de estos asesinos que matan a sueldo y que a su vez son asesinados. En esta ciudad de horror, Fernando va haciendo lo imposible para salvarlo. Mas sobre esta pelicula

Barbet Schroeder’s film, La Virgen de los Sicarios (1999), inextricably links violence and social decadence with homosexuality, machismo, teenage male prostitution, Catholicism, and the constant fear of living in Medellín, Colombia, where drug lords, cartels, sicarios, poverty, and ‘chaos’ are everyday scenarios. Fernando Vallejo, the adult protagonist, returns to Medellín to die after a 30-year absence, becoming sexually and emotionally involved with two male adolescents, Alexis (Anderson Ballesteros) and Wilmar, whose absolute disregard for life stands in stark contrast with Vallejo’s fear of living. With few opportunities open to them, male teenagers are forced to work as sicarios (assassins) and prostitutes; aware of their ‘disposable’ nature in Medellín, they are only too eager to capitalize on the few options available to them.
