Adiós, Miami
A sharp black comedy that lays bare the contradictions, obsessions, and moral emptiness of a Venezuelan man who has climbed the social ladder through easy money rather than effort. The film portrays a glittering yet hollow way of life, marked by excess, paranoia, and emotional dislocation. Oswaldo, weary of his stagnant marriage, embarks on a passionate affair with a television star, believing that money lies at the center of all human relationships. In a world where everything seems purchasable—desire, loyalty, even identity—the film exposes the seductive illusion and underlying madness of sudden wealth.
The House of Water
Set in the 1920s in Venezuela, this political melodrama by Jacobo Penzo follows the decision of the fictional Cruz Elías León (Franklin Virguéz), a young Venezuelan poet, to give up a life of social and possibly mainstream political advancement to go back to his home and family in an isolated fishing village and combat the despotic military dictator in charge of the country.
Por Estas Calles
Por Estas Calles is a telenovela broadcast by Radio Caracas Televisión between 1992 and 1994. It was extremely popular in Venezuela, due to its very realistic approach to the day-to-day life of the country and local tone. It was the first Venezuelan program to give a realistic view of the corruption in political life, as well as the first to show the day-to-day life in the poor barrios. For example, it showed the impact on poor people's lives of the intermittent water supply, showing community meetings and lovers' trysts cut short by the news that the water was on, sending everyone running to fill storage tanks and barrels. It was considered by the Spanish edition of the magazine Rolling Stone as the 8th best show between the 100 Best TV Shows Ever in all Latin America. It is believed to be the longest telenovela ever produced in Venezuela.

As big-city dwellers, they are limited in their perspectives, though this excursion into other areas of Venezuela may prove more illuminating to them than to a foreign audience.
