Based on Héctor Abad Faciolince’s book Oblivion: A Memoir (El Olvido Que Seremos), Fernando Trueba’s Memories of My Fatherdramatizes the true story of Héctor Abad Gómez (Javier Cámara), a renowned Colombian doctor and human rights activist in Medellín during the violent 1970s. Driven by sadness and rage after cancer takes the life of one of his daughters, he devotes himself to social and political causes without regard to his personal safety. Directed by Academy Award–winning filmmaker Fernando Trueba, this intimate story is told by the doctor’s only son, the book’s author, Héctor Abad Faciolince, one of the most outstanding writers in contemporary Colombia.
