Summary
«"Ellos." Esta sola palabra, tan breve, resulta suficiente para explicar la grieta que se abrió entre la gente y quienes gobiernan. "Ellos" es distinto de aquel viejo y eufórico "nosotros". El "nosotros" de los muchachos de entonces, que marcharon victoriosos y juntos a La Habana. "Ellos" son ahora unos extraños.»
Con la aparente sencillez de una crónica de viaje, la protagonista narra su experiencia en la célebre Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión de San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, inspirada en el sueño de un cine latinoamericano sin prejuicios ni fronteras.
Realizar un documental en Caimito, un mínimo pueblo cercano a La Habana ahogado por el calor y las peripecias de "luchar por la vida", se convierte en una odisea que da inicio a otro viaje: hacia las profundidades de un país que, tras seis décadas de una revolución que proclamó la justicia social, la igualdad económica y la dignidad humana, enfrenta el desafío impostergable de la renovación.
«Es el dibujo de una realidad compleja mediante una dramaturgia lineal, placentera, de aliento testimonial y cinematográfico, que sitúa a Zardetto en el orden de la vigencia política, la honestidad intelectual y la madurez literaria -o el placer que produce un texto inteligente, con olor a café y sabor a ron.» Sergio Valdés Pedroni, cineasta y escritor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“‘Them.’ That one, short word, is enough to explain the rift that opened between the people and those who govern. ‘Them’ is different from that old, euphoric ‘us.’ The ‘us’ of the youth back then, who marched victorious and united to Havana. ‘They’ are now strangers.”
With the seeming simplicity of a travel chronicle, the protagonist narrates her experience in the famous San Antonio de los Baños of International School of Film and Television in Cuba, inspired by the dream of a Latin American cinema without prejudices or borders.
Creating a documentary in Caimito, a tiny town near Havana suffocating in the heat and the struggle to survive, becomes an odyssey that launches another journey: into the depths of a country that, after six decades of a revolution that proclaimed social justice, economic equality, and human dignity, faces the urgent challenge of renewal.
“It is the drawing of a complex reality through a linear, pleasant drama, with testimonial and cinematographic inspiration, which places Zardetto in the ranks of political validity, intellectual honesty, and literary maturity—or the pleasure that comes from an intelligent text with the smell of coffe and the flavor of rum.” –Sergio Valdés Pedroni, filmmaker and writer.
