A hearse driving through the streets of Medellín carries not only the weight of a single loss but the silent scream of an entire generation. Anhell69 is a striking cinematic experience that unfolds under the shadow of director Theo Montoya’s unrealized vampire film project, capturing the dreams, losses, and resistance of Colombia’s young queer community. Montoya is shaken by the tragic death of 21-year-old Camilo Najar, the actor he had chosen for the lead role—an event that marks not an end, but a beginning in the violence- and despair-infused atmosphere of Medellín. Blending documentary and fiction, the film reveals a world where the living and the dead coexist, laying bare the healing power of cinema and the existential struggle of a generation.
