What happens

Viva Cuba is a 2005 Cuban tragicomedy film, directed and co-written by Juan Carlos Cremata, with Manolito Rodriguez as the other co-writer. It was the first Cuban film to be awarded the ‘Grand Prix Écrans Juniors’ for children's cinema at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. In Viva Cuba, a road movie fairy tale, Cremata tackles localized Cuban problems from the literal point of view of the country's children. He lowers the camera to the eye level of the film's protagonists, Malú (Malú Tarrau Broche) and Jorgito (Jorgito Miló Ávila). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
