Veteran director
Manuel Gutierrez
Aragon provided a portrait of Cubans in Spain with this Spanish film, a
winner of the Silver Spike at the 1997 Valladolid Film Festival. Three
sisters — aspiring actress Nena (Violeta
Rodriguez), timid Ludmila (Broselianda
Hernandez), and motherly Rosa (Isabel
Santos) — travel from Havana to Madrid to stay with their aunt Maria (Daisy
Granados). Aboard the same plane is Barbaro (Luis
Alberto Garcia), who stays with penniless but streetwise Igor (Jorge
Perugorria), a man who thinks sleeping with Spanish women is the route to
upward mobility. The impoverished Igor also creates forged passports to help
others depart for Miami. The three girls move in with Maria, who lives
downstairs from her friend Azucena (Kiti
Manver). Minus papers, the trio is employed at Maria's fur shop.
Matchmaker Maria brings Rosa together with awkward Javier (Pepon
Nieto), but Javier goes for Nena instead. So does Igor after he spots Nena
in a Cubano bar. Igor sleeps that night at Azucena's place, and the proximity
to the sisters during the long night's journey into day makes a commotion and
fracas almost a certainty. The film's music blends rumba, bolero, and tango.
