HAVANA EVA - 2010 Redwood City International Latino Film Festival
HAVANA EVA takes place in a Havana shaken by Fidel's retirement when winds of hope are blowing over the island. Eva, a young seamstress, confined in a despotic and monochromatic government clothing factory that makes only one style of dress, dreams of designing beautiful clothes and becoming a fashion designer. Frustrated by her lazy, though adorable Cuban boyfriend, she meets a sophisticated ex-patriot Cuban-American who dazzles her with a glamorous future. After many deceptions and surprises, Eva has to choose between the two men she loves. Hers is an unexpected decision and a tale of women's liberation from the chains of parents, work, and men, in order to realize one dream.
Venezuelan actress Prakriti Maduro- a charmer- turns in an enchanting performance captivating the movie audiences with a naturalness and innocence that is hard to top. With a simple story, dusted with magic realism, Fina Torres masterly weaves a humorous but powerful metaphor of today's Cuba and its future.
