The Longest Distance (2013)
Two sides of the same country: a chaotic and violent city contrasting against a natural paradise where the oldest mountains on the planet can be found. Two main characters that find each other at a crucial moment. Two fearless journeys, one that begins as a childlike adventure and ends up on the other side of the country and a one-way journey, free and determined. The same destiny will inevitably bond a woman with her grandson. Without knowing it they are part of an unbreakable family circle that deeply unites them. Second opportunities will arise while individual freedom of choice will become imposing. Everything comes together to tell us: there is only one destiny, the one you choose for yourself.

Redundant and unnecessary.
Pretty Good
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The Longest Distance. An example of film a reality that exists in Venezuela: an infected violence in a land touched by God with its landscapes, its country environment and its people, able to forget and change for the good of others and of himself. The performance of Carme Elias and Omar Moya are outstanding. The score music is wonderful and combines well with the plot and scenes. Photography is innovative for a movie made in Venezuela and the landscapes of La Gran Sabana in Bolívar state shown a beautiful country, blessed by God, but stained by the dictatorship of our ignorant President. In general, recommended.
This Venezuelan film so full of subtleties, beauty, warmth, but also deals with death, contrast of different ways of life with many spiritual readings, trying to provoke a reflection on the fate of people. The debut feature from writer/director Claudia Pinto Emperor (Caracas, 1977 she lived several years in Guri, Edo. Bolivar) "The longest distance" is about a woman (Carme Elias, winner of a Goya in 2009) who is in the last stage of his life against a child (Omar Moya) who escapes from the chaotic city of Caracas to meet with her in the paradise Gran Sabana (Roraima). Excellent casting, beautiful photography, very well directed, personally I am very proud of this special work, since I'm from Guayana where much of the picture was shot and I think that Claudia did a great job as a team to claim that there is hope between us and to improve and demonstrate the beauty that is, our country, Venezuela.
