Is the best venezuelan movie?


Well I guess so, because is just different from the others latin movies about violence, drugs and poberty.

Not so different, there is violence, drugs and poverty in the movie ;), it takes a different approach and doesn't try hard to reflect on social issues though, which is where most latin american movies fail, instead it just tells a story of how naive and innocent but at the same time corrupt and premature can kids be while growing up in latin american ghettos, specifically in Caracas.
