Aún es de noche en Caracas (It Would Be Night in Caracas)

Trapped in a city on the verge of collapse, 38-year-old Adelaida buries her mother and is left completely alone. In the streets of Caracas, protests are brutally crushed. When she returns home, she discovers her apartment has been overtaken by women aligned with the regime. With no way out, she hides in the flat next door — only to discover the corpse of her neighbour. Forced to share her confinement with a young man she cannot trust, Adelaida descends into a claustrophobic spiral of paranoia, fear, and death — until she realises that to survive, she must give up her identity and become someone else: “the daughter of the Spanish woman”.

When we first read La hija de la española by Karina Sainz Borgo, we were deeply moved by the character of Adelaida Falcón, who endures internal displacement, identity loss, and the brutality of trying to survive in a country that no longer recognises her as part of it. That wound resonates with us personally, as it does with millions of Venezuelans.
We belong to one of the largest diasporas in the Americas: more than eight million people displaced, stripped of a homeland, of belonging, of a name.
Our film approaches that collective trauma through a deeply intimate lens. We follow a woman who loses everything, even her sense of self. There are no epic gestures here, only small acts of resistance in the face of collapse. Aún es de Noche en Caracas is not just a reflection of the Venezuelan exodus; it is also a profoundly universal story about the right to exist. It confronts us with one of the most urgent dilemmas of the contemporary world: exile, uprootedness, and the painful rupture with the land you love — one that ultimately pushes you away.
