What happens
Between the Moon and Montevideo is a Canadian science fiction film, directed by Attila Bertalan and released in 2000. The film is set on a small asteroid orbiting between the Earth and the Moon, which has been settled by humans as a mining colony; poverty and despair are rampant, but the only way to return to Earth is a rocket belonging to Russian gangsters who charge far more money for passage than anybody but El Señor (Armando Fernandez Soler), the leader of the colony, can ever hope to attain. Bertalan himself stars as Tobi, a scrap dealer who teams up with hustler Tony-Lee (Russell Yuen) in a plan to steal El Señor's money so that he can return home to Montevideo. The film also stars Gérard Gagnon as Louis, an enforcer for the gangsters, and Pascale Bussières as Juta, Louis's girlfriend who is sympathetic to Tobi's plight as she also dreams of escaping. The film was shot in Havana, Cuba in 1999. It premiered at the 2000 Fantasia Film Festival, before going into limited commercial release in 2001. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
