The veteran actress brings to life an 19th century Irishwoman who survives by hiding behind men's clothing and manners, passing herself off as a butler in a Dublin hotel. The film had its premiere during the most recent edition of the Toronto International Film Festival where critics spoke of Close's work as worthy of a sixth Oscar nomination. The film was also part of the Official Selection (out of competition) in the 59th San Sebastian Film Festival (Donostia Zinemaldia), where it won the Sebastiane Award from the GEHITU Collective for Best Film with an LGTB Theme, an honor bestowed in every festival since 2000.

 |   Free Trade Agreement Signed with United States As a sign of international confidence in Colombia following the country's rise in past years culminating in its best results ever this year, the Free Trade Agreement was signed between Colombia and the United States marking the third such treaty between the Colombian government and developed nations. On October 21, after a lengthy process which began in 2007, President Barack Obama signed the agreement with Colombia after it was approved by the US Congress. The FTA with Colombia will go into effect during the second half of next year, once President Obama rules it is ready to be put into action. The treaty will place Colombian products in permanently preferential conditions in the world's largest market with over 310 million inhabitants, a domestic product of more than 14.6 billion dollars and GDP per capita of 47,400 USD according to 2010 figures. Thanks to the treaty, Colombia has gained access to practically all US industrial products (99.9%) and has granted the US access to 81.8% of Colombian products, 92.5% of which are raw materials and capital goods not produced in the country.

Everyone that we worked with was very professional and eager to make the show a success. We filmed everywhere from downtown Bogota to a cocaine field that was only accessibly by police helicopter. The access was unbelievable and the production wouldn't have been possible without Javier Delgado and his resources. We're looking forward to coming back to Colombia very soon!
