Plot edit
Samuel is a young Venezuelan who takes a bus to Chile, emigrating there to find the stability he cannot in his own country. Upon reaching Santiago de Chile, Samuel realizes that emigrating bears several obstacles that he has to deal with to achieve his goal.[1][2][3]
Production edit
The film's director, Abner Ramírez, has expressed that he has always wanted to make a film about his life because, despite suffering many hardships, he managed to overcome them and succeeded, and that he wanted to inspire the Venezuelans who leave their country seeking a better life. The film began production in Santiago de Chile, being funded independently.[4] Before the release of the film, Ramírez sought out collaborations and ideas to finish the production, hoping to release the film as soon as possible and screen it in Latin American movie theaters.[2]
