For the war

Cuban veteran Andrés Rodríguez Rodríguez, alias Mandarria, lives off his combat memories of thirty years ago in Nicaragua. Through a series of exercises of a possible war manual, it recreates all the soldier's abilities, in an interesting game with the director Francisco Marise, and also with the spectator. The lonely life of this former military man, evoked in his most everyday gestures, also provides a dialogue on camera in which he explains his most existential opinions. Mandarria is concerned with reconnecting with his former comrades, probably to evoke the meaning their lives had "for the war."
