What happens

Los dioses rotos es una película cubana del 2008, escrita y dirigida por Ernesto Daranas Serrano. La trama presenta una reflexión en torno a perspectivas éticas y morales de un grupo de personajes pertenecientes a distintos niveles socioculturales, entre quienes las clasificaciones de “positivos” y “negativos” no resultan sencillas de imponer. Drama social, suspense y tragedia comulgan en una historia interesada en resultar amena, universal y consecuente con la realidad a la que se debe. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
