Good Cuban film, which at times comes across as a documentary, which is quite clever in itself. At times you can clearly see that the film is an indictment of communism, but at the same time it also seems to be a kind of ode to Cuba and then especially to the way in which people knew how to deal with the hard life of that time there.
Sometimes it's a bit too disjointed and fragmented, but overall it's quite engaging. The love story is also quite intriguing and has almost very big consequences. for the main character.
I understand that they are proud of this film in Cuba. It is well put together and at times quite strong, but sometimes a bit disjointed. In any case, it fits well with the warm temperatures of the summer, which has also just started here.
