1. The Night
Set amid chronic blackouts in Caracas, this polyphonic story follows a circle of friends—a psychiatrist, a writer, and other night-dwellers—whose lives intersect with a string of killings and a troubling disappearance, pulling them through a city steeped in fear, scarcity, and rumor. Blending noir suspense with essay-like reflections on literature and exile, it becomes a meditation on memory, obsession, and the slow unraveling of a society where darkness exposes both private frailties and collective collapse.
