“When art heals, laughter saves”

Overview

Eladio is a failed actor who has spent years in obscurity working maintenance at a TV station in the capital. When he’s forced to return to Maracaibo to care for his teenage niece —a fierce, guitar-playing rebel— their worlds clash. Amid loud music, insults, and generational conflict, Eladio accidentally reinvents himself as an acting teacher… and ends up entangled with one of the city’s most notorious crime syndicates. What follows is a hilarious, heartfelt, and uniquely Latin American story about rediscovery, family, and the absurdities of adulthood —at any age.
