This is not a movie for u to buy. This is how Cuban "fight" each others, how they deal with love and friendships with deceptions and hopes. Even when this, has been a bit censured and some of the "real" Cuba is still left out. Those that want to find out a bit more of how Cubans live, have to put together this movie and several others. I do recommend Suite Habana and Strawberry and Chocolote (from the more recent history of the Cuban filmography) and Los sobrevivientes and La muerte de un burocrata, older ones. This, as a film, is not as good as Suite Havana and Strawberry... this is a bit more traditional production and follows the scheme of modern Cuban comedies. I gave it an 8 because it does show part of the Cuban way of living (incomplete of course - check above). Music is terrific. Enjoy together with close friends, maybe beer (or even Cuban Rum if at hand). Keep children away though.
