The filmmaker Patricia Restrepo was born in Cali, Colombia in 1954 and studied communications at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano. At the beginning of her career in the 1970s, she made short films that were deeply concerned with women and their social status. Since the late 1970s, Restrepo has produced and directed television and feature films, and written reviews and criticism.

In her experimental film Por la Mañana (In the morning), which is based on a poem by Jacques Prévert, a devastated wife reviews repeatedly what happens at breakfast: her husband never once looks at her as he reads the paper, smokes a cigarette, and drinks a cup of coffee—the same scene day after day.
