La Soledad

Streaming video - 2016

Handyman José lives with his family in La Soledad, a dilapidated villa located in what used to be one of Caracas’ most affluent neighborhoods. After learning that the villa’s owners are planning to sell the estate, José seeks any solution that might keep his six-year-old daughter from growing up in Caracas’ crime-sodden slums. Might that fabled treasure supposedly hidden in La Soledad’s walls offer José’s family a chance at a better life? Official Selection at the **Venice Film Festival**. *“An inventive and insightful exercise in exploring a real location down to the last cobwebbed corner. And politically, it depicts a desperate state of affairs, but with hope and quiet energy.” – Jonathan Romney, **The Guardian***
