      • La Soledad is a 2016 drama film and the directorial debut of Venezuelan filmmaker Jorge Thielen Armand. It premiered in the 73rd Venice International Film Festival. The production received the financial support of The Venice Biennale College and it is a co-production between Venezuela, Canada and Italy.


      Plot


      The inspiration for filming La Soledad emerged from the childhood memories and experiences of the director in the family house of his grandparents, in the city of Caracas, Venezuela. After living abroad for years, he came back to the country to shoot in that same house a film that sways between documentary and fiction.
      The house, which is itself a character, has been practically abandoned by the director's family and is about to collapse. It is now the home of new occupants: Rosina, who was formerly an employee of the owners, and her grandson José. The "proprietors" decide to demolish it and "the squatters" must seek a new place to live in. The film portrays core issues of contemporary Venezuelan society.

      Reception

      Additionally, it received the Honorable Mention at the 4th edition of La Casa Cine Fest and at the 48th edition of the Nashville Film Festival.
