Synopsis / Sinopsis
In Cuba, daily life flows under the effigy of the country-s political father: Che Guevara. The Commander’s face is everywhere: on road billboards, on huge luminous posters hung on high-rises, on t-shirts. The Pioneers, the youngest of “Che’s Children” lay flowers and recite speeches at monuments. The documentary presents opposing testimonials. One speaks about the “Fight against Imperialism” and Communist ideals, but also about the loss of ideals and hard work, simple things which the Cubans cannot afford from their twelve-dollar monthly wages. El Comandante’s daughter, Aleida Guevara, explains why her father’s visage remains vivid and why Cuba cannot respect Europe or the USA. Conversely, a young sports teacher, Yoel, claims that politics is politics, but life is life. For him, the future can no longer be here.
În Cuba, viaţa de zi cu zi curge în umbra părintelui politic al ţării: Che Guevara. Chipul comandantului este peste tot: pe afişele de la marginea drumului, în uriaşe sigle luminoase suspendate pe blocuri şi pe tricouri. Pionierii, cei mai mici dintre „copiii lui Che” depun flori şi ţin discursuri la monumente. Documentarul prezintă diferite mărturii, aflate la poluri opuse. Se vorbeşte despre „lupta împotriva Imperialismului” şi despre idealurile comuniste, dar şi despre pierderea idealurilor şi despre traiul greu, despre lucrurile simple pe care cubanezii nu şi le pot permite din salariile de 12 dolari pe lună. Fiica comandantului, Aleida Guevara, explică de ce figura tatălui său rămâne un model viu şi de ce Cuba nu poate respecta Europa sau SUA. La polul opus, un tânăr profesor de sport, Yoel, spune că politica e politică, iar viaţa e viaţă. Pentru el, viitorul nu mai poate fi aici.
