Set in Caracas during the violent protests of 2017, this gripping political thriller follows Adelaida—portrayed with raw intensity by Natalia Reyes—who finds herself alone in a city consumed by repression, censorship, and chaos. When her apartment is seized by women loyal to the regime, Adelaida is forced to hide in a neighboring flat while unrest and violence escalate in the streets below. As food, safety, and hope grow scarce, Adelaida realizes that survival will demand more than endurance—it will require reinvention. With time running out and danger closing in, she begins to contemplate a desperate plan and attempt a perilous escape from the country she once called home. Directed by Mariana Rondón and Marité Ugás, and with the participation of acclaimed Venezuelan actor and producer Édgar Ramírez, the film delivers a haunting portrait of authoritarianism and social collapse. Through Adelaida's journey, it captures the pain of losing loved ones, home, and freedom. At once intimate and politically charged, the story becomes a powerful reflection on identity, displacement, and the human instinct to survive, echoing the experiences of countless people forced to flee instability and oppression across Latin America and the world.
