Salto Atras

Salto Atrás is a classic Venezuelan sainete that addresses, between laughter and irony, the prejudices, appearances and racism of Caracas society at the beginning of the 20th century. The plot begins with the family celebration for the birth of a new member; however, the joy turns into tension when they discover that the baby is born with dark skin. This event triggers crazy explanations and cross accusations, exposing with fine humor the social hypocrisy of the time and inviting the viewer to reflect on identity.
