Synopsis by Nathan Southern
The title is a literal one: Raimundo Garcia's satirical political comedy Cuba Libre (or 'Free Cuba') coincides with the first free elections in Cuba. As the story opens, a group of squatters are evicted from their cultural center and burst into the Cuban Embassy in Madrid - little realizing that their actions will make them the central targets of a die hard, take-no-prisoners reporter and an even more determined police force. Mario Arias, Luciano Federico and Sara Deray co-star; Garcia co-authored the original script with Enrique Calvo and Ulises Bermejo.
