„Once upon a time in Venezuela“... As magical title and prolog may seem, as sobering is the shown life reality of the floating village Congo Mirador, which symbolizes a whole country. Venezuela has more oil than any other nation on earth, yet its people live in misery and political disruption. „A powerful image of forced exile ... the embodiment of an entire nation. Ríos captures the village’s decline with a fair amount of affection and a keen eye for natural beauty.“ (Jordan Mintzer from “Hollywood Reporter“)
