November (Noviembre), the feature debut from Colombian filmmaker Tomás Corredor, revisits one of the darkest chapters in Colombia’s recent history – the 1985 Raid on the Palace of Justice.
The film unfolds within the siege itself, centering on real individuals forced into a shared ordeal: guerrilla fighters, magistrates, and civilians who find themselves trapped in a bathroom for 27 harrowing hours. At the center of the cast are Natalia Reyes, Santiago Alarcón, and newcomer Juan Prada, who anchor this intense, ensemble-driven drama.
The film made its world premiere in the Discovery section at Toronto International Film Festival, and is slated to open in Colombian theaters on October 2, 2025, followed by streaming debut on Prime Video.
Here is the synopsis:
Trapped in a bathroom for over 27 hours during the siege of the Palace of Justice, guerrilla fighters, judges, and civilians face something more harrowing than bullets: their own convictions—and the collapse of them. Outside, war rages; inside lies the soul of a country without certainties.
Led by actress Natalia Reyes (“Birds of Passage”, “Terminator: Dark Fate”) and celebrated Colombian actor Santiago Alarcón (“La Pena Máxima 2” , “Todas Para Uno”), the film revisits one of the darkest and most defining moments in the country’s modern history.
A gripping chamber piece set against the chaos of war, the story unfolds within the suffocating confines of a bathroom, where words become weapons and survival demands more than courage. Fear, conviction, contradiction, and the desperate will to endure collide in an intense exploration of the human condition.
