| Summary |
Narra de manera íntima la historia de un hombre bueno, el médico colombiano Héctor Abad Gómez, carismático líder social y hombre de familia, un destacado médico y activista por los derechos humanos en el Medellín polarizado y violento de los años 70. La trama relata la vida del doctor y padre de familia, preocupado tanto por sus hijos como por los niños de clases menos favorecidas. En su casa se respiraba la vitalidad y la creatividad características de una educación fundamentada en la tolerancia y el amor, pero la violencia ambiental del país condicionaba la vida de todo su entorno. |

Colombia's official submission for the 93rd Academy Awards, the film is a stylish and beautifully shot portrait of a man who dedicated his life to helping others. |
