Summary
Publisher Annotation: "'Them.' That one, short word, is enough to explain the rift that opened between the people and those who govern. 'Them' is different from that old, euphoric 'us.' The 'us' of the youth back then, who marched victorious and united to Havana. 'They' are now strangers." With the seeming simplicity of a travel chronicle, the protagonist narrates her experience in the famous San Antonio de los Baños of International School of Film and Television in Cuba, inspired by the dream of a Latin American cinema without prejudices or borders. Creating a documentary in Caimito, a tiny town near Havana suffocating in the heat and the struggle to survive, becomes an odyssey that launches another journey: into the depths of a country that, after six decades of a revolution that proclaimed social justice, economic equality, and human dignity, faces the urgent challenge of renewal. "It is the drawing of a complex reality through a linear, pleasant drama, with testimonial and cinematographic inspiration, which places Zardetto in the ranks of political validity, intellectual honesty, and literary maturity-or the pleasure that comes from an intelligent text with the smell of coffe and the flavor of rum." -Sergio Valdés Pedroni, filmmaker and writer.
