CGiii Comment
More South American depression...surely, there is a tiny bit of happiness to be had on this continent.
As expected, it is accompanied by the usual trannie-hookers - who offer little respite against the corruption of the authorities.
Three distinct love stories - all displaying the harsher side of Venezuela.
Pena does an admirable job but the loose link between the stories is limp which almost sucks the life out of the film - but, there are some good performances to be seen but little impression is left.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Franco de Pena's movie deals with three very different love stories, all taking place on the Avenida Libertador, the main avenue of Caracas.
