Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In a tale akin to 'Romeo and Juliet,' the friendship between two children is threatened by their parents' differences. Malú is from an upper-class family and her single mother does not want her to play with Jorgito, as she thinks his background coarse and commonplace. Jorgito's mother a poor socialist proud of her family's social standing, places similar restrictions on her son. What neither woman recognizes is the immense strength of the bond between Malú and Jorgito. When the children learn that Malú's mother is planning to leave Cuba, they decide to travel to the other side of the island to find Malú's father and persuade him against signing the forms that would allow it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing film, January 31, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is one of the best films to come out of Cuba in a long time. The acting by the two young artists, Tarrau Broche and Milo Avila, is truly amazing. The music is superb and the scenery ratifies the exclamation of Christopher Columbus when he landed in Cuba: "The most beautiful land man has ever seen." Truly a work of art by director Juan Carlos Cremata. BRAVO! Rent it or buy it; you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful film ................., January 5, 2008
Having never even read a review, we rented this film. It was wonderfully done , full of Cuba images and culture. The story centers around 2 children and their love and friendship. The adults play a smaller role but still strongly projected by the director. In a moment of desperation the two children run away as the adults around them do not acknowledge them. They do not feel that they have a choice but to flee to resolve the situation. Wonderful scenes of Cuba...amazing really!
I cried and laugh and caught a simple film full of heart and culture!

5.0 out of 5 stars viva cuba movie, July 8, 2009
I rented this DVD and then had to buy it. I teach High School Spanish and show my students movies sometimes that are about Spanish culture.
I have shown this movie in 2007 and 2008. My students loved it. They laughed out loud. They were not happy with the ending but that is typical of teenagers. They always want a happy ending. I have difficulty finding movies I can show because so many are R rated. This one is wonderful. I highly recommend it for any Spanish class.
