Interview: Mariana Rondón & Marité Ugás - IT WOULD BE NIGHT IN CARACAS | #venezia82

At FRED Film Radio, Mariana Rondón and Marité Ugás, directors of the film IT WOULD BE NIGHT IN CARACAS. Interview by David Martos Editing by Paolo Valenti 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”.
