I'm giving this just one star... and I'm being quite generous. I wish I could give it just half a star, or something like –3 stars, but I can't. The two short stories that make up this "thing" are both awful, and quite unbelievable. There are some fine actors here, but their talents are wasted in the poor directing and the schematically written scripts. It's very sad to see a good, intelligent director like Carlos Caridad-Montero signing a piece like this, so complacent to the dearest illusions of the powers that be in Venezuela that it is actually physically painful. 

Even Nohely Arteaga, a quite beautiful and talented actress is unbelievably cold and almost dead in this "thing". I really mourn for the lives of the trees that were sacrificed to produce the paper in which this awful double "thing" was written.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
