Upon Entry is the directorial debut of Venezuelans Alejandro Rojas and Juan Sebastián Vásquez. The film, starring a couple lost in the Kafkaesque labyrinth of immigration bureaucracy in the United States, has been sneaking into the nominations for all the season's awards.

Upon Entry aspires to three Goya nominations that will be awarded this Saturday (best actor for Alberto Ammann, novel direction and original screenplay), after having been nominated for best film at the Forqué and winning the awards for best screenplay at the Gaudí and in the Feroz.
