Long Live Cuba

Viva Cuba is a 2005 Cuban tragicomedy film, directed and co-written by Juan Carlos Cremata, with Manolito Rodriguez as the other co-writer. It was the first Cuban film to be awarded the Grand Prix Écrans Juniors for children's cinema at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival Sinopsis: Viva Cuba takes place in Cuba and the two main characters are Malú, who comes from a middle-class family and is raised by her single mother, and Jorgito, whose mother is a poor socialist and his father an alcoholic. When Malú's grandmother dies and her mother decides to go live outside Cuba, Malú and Jorgito will have to escape to the end of the world in search of hope for their love. The film uses the two children from two different backgrounds to show how these children symbolize the people of Cuba and whether or not they can predict the outcomes of the future.
