The Broken Goddess

Storyline

The myth of María Lionza, the goddess of Venezuela, merges with the experience of a migrant filmmaker who longs for her lost goddess. Through two decades of filming, the movie reveals the different faces of the fracture of the iconic statue of the Goddess in the midst of a Caracas marked by acute political and social division. Different eras come together to explore a rupture that is not only that of a statue. It is the story of Venezuela and of every Venezuelan who feels divided.
