Synopsis
Set against the chaos of Venezuela’s political crisis in 2017, this tense, propulsive thriller executive produced by Édgar Ramírez follows Adelaida (Natalia Reyes) as she navigates a Caracas where survival demands impossible choices. Returning from her mother’s funeral, she finds her home is seized by a violent female militia. Ousted from her own house and surrounded by a city of escalating tensions and collapsing institutions, Adelaida discovers that her neighbour has just passed away – and left her Spanish passport behind. Set during the few tension-filled days that follow, It Would Be Night in Caracas deftly navigates the morality of survival, as Adelaida navigates a corrupt system, a lawless environment and her own morals to ensure her survival. (ANNA BOGUTSKAYA)
