Most Cubans learn to hide their despair, fear and paranoia under a facade of acceptance and even outward happiness toward the State...it's safer. In the same way, this musical film uses a happy melody as the thin facade to a potent lyrical and visual message about life in revolutionary Cuba today. Metal bars are a recurring motif at homes and also at the derelict Modelo prison on the isolated Isle of Youth. Cubans have been known to describe their country as an 'open prison'. Some would say that Cuba has been a prison of one type or another for generations. Filmed entirely in Cuba. Written by
