It Would be Night in Caracas (Aun es de Noche en Caracas)

Directed by Mariana Rondón, Marité Ugás
Mexico, Venezuela
2025
96 mins

Set during the brutal 2017 protests in Caracas, Venezuela, a city full of chaos, 38-year-old Adelaida Falcón is left adrift after burying her mother. The grief is immediate; the danger is closer. Trapped in a collapsing city, Adelaida loses her home to regime loyalists and her identity to a dead neighbor. To survive the chaos, she must stop being herself and become someone else entirely. Hers is a claustrophobic, heart-pounding journey of survival where the only way out is to disappear entirely.

Directors Marité Ugás and Mariana Rondón craft a portrayal of life under siege, where acts of survival are inseparable from ethical ambiguity.
