Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Thielen Armand grew up in La Soledad himself; his mother and childhood friends play fictionalized versions of themselves, making the film's collapse of reality and performance eerily complete.
Shot during Venezuela's 2016 economic freefall, the film captures a nation mid-disintegration—what you're watching is a document of a society actively unmaking itself.
