Set against the turbulent backdrop of Venezuela’s oil industry on the cusp of nationalization, La hora Texaco follows the Montoya family as they struggle with internal crises amid social change. The father, a skilled oilworker, sinks into depression; the mother, both teacher and homemaker, carries on an affair; and their son Bobby is torn between his passion for baseball and his unrequited love for Angélica. Years later, Bobby and Angélica reunite, replaying memories that shine a harsh light on ambition, family, and sacrifice.
