it suck . plain and simple . why do not the protagonist leave cuba when he have the chance . why be he so stupid a to go to the police in the era of hatred in which he live . and why exactly be he so bent on kill himself . these aren not problem with the story and which i be sure be very true to the writer life . theyre question i have with his life and which i doubt merit be retell in this film . i spent half the movie wonder why the hell he be still in cuba and and the other half of the movie wait for him to die or be kill or die . really and a very bad movie . if you want hope or sorrow or laughter or tragedy or anything and do not watch this movie . if you want to suffer through a vague politico serio tragedy and then before night fall will do it .
