Luis Alberto Garcia plays different characters through these numerous short films, however he maintains the name of Nicanor, while Nestor Jiménez appropriates the alias of Rodrigo. This particular clip below develops around an investigation of pain by European Contemporary artists "Rodrigo", who aims to capture 100 photographs of Cuba's most renounced artists, however they must show evidence of physical pain because "the agony of an artists is invisible to the eye". Rodrigo hires Nicanor, a working class man, as the torturer who is to inflict the injuries on the 100 artist who desperately want to appear in Rodrigo's work.
This next clip provides a sarcastic, and humorous critique on Cuba's freedom of speech, lack of individual privacy, and resources. Enjoy!
The following clip takes place in the Cuba of the 1970s: a time on which the first generation who became of age with the Revolution felt optimistic, and passionate about the ideals of socialism and their new
government. I will continue to share material on this series on upcoming blogs. Enjoy!
