Loving Pablo is a gripping drama that tells the true story of the tumultuous love affair between Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar and journalist Virginia Vallejo. Set in the early 1980s, the film takes us on a journey through the highs and lows of their passionate relationship, which was marked by Escobar's rise to power as the world's most feared drug trafficker and his subsequent fall from grace. With stellar performances from Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, this movie offers a unique perspective on the inner workings of the Medellín cartel and the devastating impact of its reign of terror on Colombia. As Vallejo becomes increasingly entangled in Escobar's dangerous world, she must confront her own loyalties and make a choice between her love for him and her commitment to the truth.
