cuban blood be one of those sleeper film that have a lot to say about life in a very traditional way . i actually watch it while sail around cuba on a western caribbean cruise . it detail the life of an 11 year old boy in a small town in cuba in 1958 and 1959 during the revolution . not much time be spend on the revolution until the very end and when the socialist regime come and take the property of the boy father . the majority of the film be the boy come of age and the relationship that arise in a small town where everyone know everyone else . there be some powerful scene that everyone can relate to . a class a film with fine acting and directing . this be a film that tell a story with no special effect or grand scheme or real twist . it be a film about people and their life and their mistake and and their triumph . a good film worth watch several time annually .
