Storyline
Featured review
An act of resistance
I saw this film at visions du réel. I'm flabbergasted at the bravery of this film and the act of love that it means to make something like this. We never see stories from venezuela in festivals, let alone in the news. I felt privileged to be let in into the story of this family. The film is an act of resistance, a cry of help for venezuela, an excavation of pain, memory, and family archive. We are taken into rare spaces of prison, and even the escape from a dictatorship that has displaced 9 million people from what was once the most prosperous Latin American nation. Cinematically the film took me on a visual journey across the years of its making, showing me the brutal reality of venezuela, but also providing a cathartic, bitter-sweet ending. This is a necessary film, not only for the filmmaker, the country of Venezuela, but also evident in its raw and direct aesthetics.
