This is a fiction film from the Venezuelan director Jorge Thielen Armand, his first full length film, which tells the story of Jose and his family who live in a large house called La Soledad. Thielen Armand take the opportunity to deliver a closer look at this Venezuela devastated by its own government, to the point that it feels that the context is as important as the story itself. La Soledad does not belong to Jose or his family and they suddenly have to leave because the country's economic situation force the family who owned to sell it.
Beyond this situation it gives the feeling that nothing much happens, but the picture manages to capture the viewer's attention, because it mixes the already terrible moment of the republic with some a kind of dreamlike, almost enchanted atmosphere which gives the film a tone that alternates with this almost documentary vision of what is happening in the country. These two ways works just fine, but at the end it feels like they gave us more an inside of José's feelings and thoughts than anything else. It is worth seeing.
