Tacoma Sister Cities International Film Festival - Cienfuegos, Cuba

March 11, 2010
Doors open at 6:30 with a cultural program from our sister city of Cienfuegos, Cuba. The movie Nada starts at 7:30.

Movie Synopsis: In Havana, a post office branch is more than a place of bureaucratic rules and regulations to ensure effective public services. This is where Carla Perez works. A young dreamer, this government employee transforms boredom into a 'crossroads of feeling in writing'. More than merely sending and receiving letters, she aims to help her companions in finding happiness and love. Such good will can not go un-rewarded. Her exiled parents in Miami entered her name in the yearly U.S. immigration lottery. Unexpectedly, she receives a notice for her interview to get the 'green card'. Now she will have to opt between a future of her own in Cuba, and a future planned by others in Miami.
