No estando segura de que hacer con la cámara, la trae a casa. Pero la monotonía se rompe cuando Candelaria encuentra una cámara de video escondida en las sábanas sucias del hotel donde trabaja. Los días son repetitivos, las conversaciones son escasas, las cenas son tristes. Pero las vidas de Candelaria, 75, y Víctor Hugo, 76, continúan a un ritmo lento. La Habana, 1994 es la época cuando el embargo está en su apogeo, la Guerra Fría está llegando a su fin y la Unión Soviética se está desintegrando. Giornate degli Autori Director’s Award, Venice 2017 This sweet and saucy tale of an older married couple re-finding their spark, is absolutely lovely to watch.Īmusing, outrageous and, ultimately, moving, Candelaria seduces us through the subtlety with which it tackles the topic of sex in old age, through how it lays bare (literally) the life of a couple of seniors compelled to come up with little tricks to survive, through its exciting close-ups, the music and colours of Cuba, and through the incredible joie de vivre it exudes. The arrival of this foreign object in their home unleashes all kinds of unexpected consequences. Not sure of what to do with it just yet, she brings it home. But the monotony is suddenly broken when Candelaria finds a video camera tangled in the dirty sheets of the hotel laundry where she works. The days are repetitive, conversations are sparse, dinners are sad. Candelaria, 75, and Víctor Hugo, 76, are more focused on finding enough to eat and preserving their one remaining lightbulb than they are on each other.

Right when the embargo is at its peak, the Cold War comes to an end and the Soviet Union disintegrates. 2020 Cine en construcción | Work in Progress Voces Afro Indígenas Voicesħ:15pm SFU Woodward’s | Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.2020 Black History Month: THE EMPTY BOX.2021 Joy and Resilience in Black Brazilian Lives.2022 National Indigenous History Month: Nudo Mixteco – June 27.2022 Latin American Heritage Month Virtual Screening.Feb 16-28 ABRIENDO MONTE: Perspectives on a Contemporary Afro-Cuban Cinema.Sponsorship and Advertising Opportunities.New Directors Competition / Nuevos Directores / Novos Diretores 2023.Short Films / Cortometrajes / Curtas-Metragens 2023.
