Following the documentaries screened in March, Cine Cuba at Sands this month presents a feature film: a comedy throwing light on the Cuban situation in a changing world in the last decade of the 20th century. By a series of coincidences, Sergio, a Cuban professor of Marxist philosophy and a radio ham, contacts and befriends Sergei, a Soviet cosmonaut stuck in the MIR space station. As the Soviet Union collapses Sergei has to wait until the new Russia can rescue him. Crazy situation? Well, we only need to look around us for a mad world! The film was chosen in 2017 as the Cuban offering for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars but was rejected on grounds which were never made clear.
Sergio and Sergei
In 1991, the USSR is falling apart and Cuba enters its hardest economic crisis. Sergio, a professor of Marxism who can't provide for his family, and Sergei, a Soviet cosmonaut stranded in the Mir space station, share a common passion: amateur radio. Through this hobby, both men will be able to help each other in facing the dramatic changes of their countries.
