Venues More Information Buy Tickets Film type: Short Genre: Documentary Showtimes: Friday, April 15 at 6:00pm – 7:30pm Short Synopsis: A poetic and slyly subversive film about life in Cuba, where it’s too dangerous to speak openly against la Revolucion.

In the same way, a smiling singing narrator and his happy melody create the thin facade for a compelling message about free speech in today’s revolutionary Cuba. Metal bars are a recurring motif, at homes and at the derelict Modelo prison on the isolated Isla de la Juventude. Cubans often describe their country as an ‘open prison’. Filmed entirely in Cuba/Filmada enteramente en Cuba. |
