La vendedora de rosas is a 1998 Colombian film directed by Victor Gaviria. The film is loosely based on the fairy tale "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen; it was entered into the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.[1]

Many of the actors that starred in the film are now dead or in prison.[2] Giovanni Quiroz was murdered in Medellín and Leidy Tabares is in prison for her involvement in the murder of a taxi driver in Medellín.[2] Giovanny Rodriguez (Don Hector in the film) and Alex Bedoya (Milton) are dead now. Some of them are still alive but living in tough conditions, such as Mileider Gil who entered the world of prostitution few years later after the movie was finished.
