Chico (voice)
É uma animação britânico-espanhola para adultos que se passa em 1948 e conta a história de um jovem pianista cubano chamado Chico e uma bela cantora com uma voz extraordinária, chamada Rita. Um romance ardente e um desejo musical os une, mas sua jornada – na tradição da balada latina, o bolero – traz dor e tormento. De Havana para Nova York, Paris, Hollywood e Las Vegas, duas pessoas apaixonadas batalham contra as impossíveis probabilidades de se unir na música e no amor. A ideia era criar um filme inspirado nos clipes de La Negra Tomasa, do músico cubano Compay Segundo.
A 2009 Cuban drama by Rebeca Chávez taking place in Santiago de Cuba at the beginning of revolution. In the late 1950s, the city of Santiago de Cuba was afire, the site of some of the fiercest resistance to the murderous dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. The film's narrative unfolds over 24 hours in the lives of several youthful members of the underground as they confront their own uncertainty about the morality of armed struggle and the necessity of severing bonds that had seemed unbreakable.
In the manner of a well run Greek tragedy, leaving aside one of its components, dragging in its passing narrative certainty by the viewer that violent death is the hallmark of so much misfortune purifier, Los Dioses Rotos crowns the very successful arrival of Ernesto Daranas to the feature domains and with it, the team that accompanied him, including the actors.
