Carlos Azpurua's drama Coup at Daybreak takes place during the military coup that saw the overthrow of the Venezuelan government in 1992. A number of the Caracas' wealthiest citizens attempt to figure out their status when soldiers march into town and they are unable to trust reports from radio and television. The film follows-up on how a variety of these people deal with the new reality they face.
