Directed by Alfredo Anzola, Manuel (1979) is a Venezuelan drama that explores themes of love, faith, and resistance. The story follows Aparicio and his wife, Alma Rosa, as they welcome a new priest, Manuel, to their coastal village. As Manuel becomes acquainted with the community, he discovers that the village is slated for demolition to make way for a tourist development. Deeply moved by the villagers' plight, Manuel joins the local fishermen in their struggle to defend their land. During this time, he also finds himself drawn to Alma Rosa, leading to personal and moral dilemmas. The developers, aware of Manuel's growing influence and his feelings for Alma Rosa, begin to monitor his actions closely. The film delves into the complexities of human relationships and the fight against displacement.

The film tells the story of Manuel, a man who lives far from his family, immersed in a routine from which he can't escape. It is a sensitive and thought provoking reflection about family time and forgetting.

Manuela is a woman who leads an extremely gridded life, always following a list of tasks that gives meaning to her existence. The moment that list disappears, Manuela completely falls apart.

Manuel lives day by day. He is a day laborer, a worker. However, he lives from art because he breathes art. While a couple of filmmakers are filming a documentary about their days. Manuel is imagining his own film.

Deep inside, Manuel has always been Manuela. Amidst her worst love crisis, Manuela reinvents herself as Manuel in order to pass as the fiancé of her best friend Coca - who is pregnant from a one-night stand and must face her conservative family. Hidden identities, misunderstandings, and the tension between two friends pretending to be what they are not, stage a colorful and up-beat story.
