Caracas, Venezuela, 2017. A city in turmoil. Protests, mostly by students, who demonstrate for democracy and against the military regime, are violently suppressed. The group of friends consisting of Lola, Cacá, Eli and Alain watch the protests of their peers with disinterest. The fight for freedom only interests them moderately. The four live in their own world. They belong to the privileged group of wealthy young people and live a carefree existence. Factors that threaten to disrupt their hedonistic bubble are simply ignored or eliminated with shrewd coldness.
The film oscillates between the year 2033 and 2017. In 2033, Alain awakens repressed memories that make him return to the events of 2017. It is interesting to follow the events surrounding the group. It is not exciting. A plot twist that becomes clear at the end can be found out during the course. It is the characters that make the film interesting. Members of a small elite who mercilessly abuse their position and are not prepared to admit guilt even after years, but who still exist in the same cold capacity. Venezuela in 2033 does not seem to have changed much.
Jezabel is a fascinating mix of character study and social parable and has some scenes with successful thriller elements. The plot develops less surprisingly than hoped, but the characters are excellently portrayed and enigmatic enough that they are not completely fathomable. That aspect in particular keeps the film interesting.
