Perhaps, Hell Is White - Between isolation and farewell, memory flickers into light

This insightful documentary unfolds as a speculative diary set during an extended quarantine in Venezuela's crisis, where time seems suspended and home feels unfamiliar.

As a grandmother’s life quietly fades, the film captures the tender, altered rhythm of mourning under confinement. Through intimate fragments, light patterns, and lingering shots, the documentary transforms the personal into the universal—a lyrical reflection on grief, isolation, and the invisible lines connecting us to those we love.
