OBITUARY FOR ESCOBAR

Obituary for Escobar is best described as a black comedy with a romantic twist. Gandhi is a criminal, whose childhood has led him towards a criminal adult life. He meets the mysterious Lela and falls madly in love with her. The film is layered with emotions and deals with some very interesting issues: is everything in life just a coincidence or is everything predestined, and if it is, can one change one’s destiny? The film also deals with the very sensitive issue of a gender/sex change, and the eternally repeated questions: can repentance lead to salvation, and is forgiveness possible?
