Damian Rodríguez

A child is tormented by a hungry well that demands food but, unable to quell its hunger, is forced to find another way to satisfy it.

This historical drama, depicting different phases in the late childhood and youth of the so-called "Apostle of Cuba" José Martí, is most of the time a biopic full of commonplaces often found in this genre, directed by Fernando Pérez, one of the most respected names in Cuban cinema.
