José María Vitier

Five years after the passing of the iconic filmmaker Humberto Solas, one of the founders of the New Latin American Cinema, partners, friends and family gather to evoke aspects of the life and work of Cuban artist of universal size.

As the author of one of the most influential novels in Latin American literature, Paradiso (1966), the Cuban José Lezama Lima is considered a major figure in his country. In this documentary, the director and writer Ernesto Fundora, carries out a study on the author's life through the testimonies of a long list of writers, artists and personalities close to him. The result is a film that explores his work, but also pays a heartfelt tribute to his immeasurable figure.

Mike Porcel is the lost member of the Cuban Nueva Trova: his lack of revolutionary spirit condemned him to the repudiation of his peers and turned him into a pariah for a decade, until he managed to go into exile. Without rancor, but without forgetting, the film reconstructs his story and revives a forgotten brilliance.
