Synopsis:

Douglas, a Venezuelan immigrant in Chile, works tirelessly as a delivery driver to support his family, although he barely has time to spend with them. When his motorcycle is stolen, he and his son embark on a frantic search throughout Santiago to recover it, putting their family bond to the test.

Director:

Miguel Yilales (Caracas, 1993) studied Audiovisual Direction at the Catholic University of Chile, where he made the short film Residencia definitiva (2023) about a Venezuelan mother and son seeking asylum. With a solid background in directing and photography, Yilales opts for a hybrid aesthetic between documentary and fiction, integrating professional and natural actors, including Venezuelan actor Wilmer Lugo (La Guaira) and the young talent of Cristhofer Angulo. Ladrón de Motocicletas is his debut feature film.
