The People at Universal
Former Sergeant Diogenes Hernandez owns the Universal, a precarious detective agency private in the Centre of Bogotá, which is based in the same apartment where he and his wife Fabiola inhabit. His nephew, Clemente Fernández, who works at the Agency, maintains a romance with Fabiola, without trying to hurt the feelings of his uncle, but driven by the need to alleviate their empty urban and anonymous man.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a grotesque portrait of urban loneliness, using the detective agency as a metaphor for fragile human connections. It explores the absurdity of daily life, relying on an ironic contrast between melodramatic passions and the comical ridiculousness of work routines.
Those who tire of conventional narratives will find a bizarre genre blend where criminal adventure frames a story of betrayal and yearning. What lingers after viewing is a sense of bitter irony over attempts to escape routine. — MovieFinder Editorial
