Adiós, Miami (1984, Antonio Llerandi)

A razor-sharp black comedy, Adiós, Miami exposes the dark underside of the Venezuelan dream —a world where success is built on illusion, money flows faster than meaning, and every desire is for sale. Oswaldo, weary of his dull marriage, escapes with Luzmila, a glamorous TV star, to chase luxury and reinvention in Miami. But when he’s accused of financial crimes back home, the fantasy unravels: Luzmila vanishes with the fortune, leaving him stranded and nameless in a foreign city. In his downfall, Adiós, Miami finds its tragic truth: a man who believed he could buy love, identity, and dignity—only to end up bankrupt in every sense. A dazzling and merciless portrait of Venezuela’s golden age of excess.
