A short comedy film. The truth of Venezuela...
lito1518 December 2002
When i was seeing it, i was laughing out loud (i almost die laughing), maybe because i felt very identified with the film, because i'm from Venezuela.

But besides that, i think everyone who is not Venezuelan, and is planning to live or spend a vacation in the major cities, and want to know how the things are here, this movie will show you how things works, and what a young Venezuelan have to do, to avoid getting enlisted in the army.

Not only that... if you are looking for some good Latin American movies (especially Comedy), you should see this. This short film counts with some of the finest figures of the Venezuelan media, (Benjamin Rausseo, also known as:"El Conde del Guácharo"; Orlando Urdaneta (known by his playing in soap operas, theater, host of a TV news program, etc.) and many other actors.

Venezuela in a nutshell...
gregdigital16 August 2001
This short is absolutely brilliant. I was born and raised in Venezuela, and the story, the characters, everything brought me back to Caracas in a flash! And this is not just a story for those who know Venezuela. In fact, everyone else in the theater seemed to enjoy it just as much as I did (and that's a lot!). Anyone who has ever struggled against bureaucracy will identify with the young Gustavo Pérez and his desperate quest for his cédula. As I said after the credits rolled: "Coño, qué corto más arrecho! Este carajo sí que sabe hacer cine!"
