Synopsis

This road movie, farce, satire, picaresque picture, black comedy, and bedroom farce about life in Cuba is the last film by the maestro of Cuban Cinema, Tomas Gutierrez Alea (Strawberry and Chocolate). Intertwining the stories of two groups, members of a funeral procession and some truck drivers making the journey on the road to Havana, the film stars Alea's widow and leading lady, Mirtha Ibarra, as ex-economics professor Georgina, who, with her husband, bureaucrat Adolfo (Carlos Cruz), tests a new funeral system with the body of Aunt Yoyita, an elderly singing star who returned to Cuba to visit an old flame and dropped dead in his arms. In Spanish with English subtitles. Tomas Gutierrez Alea---Cuba/Spain---1994---104 mins.

Shows that while Cuba has problems, human beings live there. I wish that Guantanamera had had more exposure in the United States. It might have softened some persons hard attitudes toward the country.

A great tale of Cuba's everyday life in small towns. Sweet, comical and touching.
