Well, I had a screenplay that I had written before this one—not a very good screenplay—but the main character was a shrink but he was kind of this autistic character in the city. That film was never made but it inspired the character of Armando. Then there were two things: at the same time I had a friend who was killed in Venezuela and that also in...
I didn’t write the screenplay wanting to make a political comment. I just wanted to make an interesting film for people that had a lot of my obsessions but trying to make it as interesting as possible. And then it turned out to be—when you see the film right now—it speaks very well about what is happening in Venezuela in many levels. Right now we’r...

With Elder I was very lucky—you have to be willing to discover someone like Luis Silva who, to me, is going to become a star. He has never done anything before this film.

He knew what the film in general was about, so he knew that he had a couple of very strong scenes. And he told me that he was a professional and that I...
The one thing that’s controversial about the film is the ending. Some people love it and some people reject it. But I knew that this was going to happen. For me it’s not a provocative ending though some people think it is. For me it’s an organic ending. I wouldn’t like to talk about the ending of the film because it’s important not to talk about it...
