Cuba Libre

1993 · 18 min

A wry, melancholy little fable that drifts between death and everyday despair, leaving you amused and quietly unsettled.

Overview
Juanita is shot in the back two days before the victory of the revolution in Cuba. She decides to become a guardian angel, because she has always enjoyed working with people. Günther Lohmann works as an insurance agent in London. He is desperate, because nothing has been going right since his girlfriend kicked him out. His life is unjustifiable. He starts smoking and is determined to gain a zest for life, even if it means losing his health. Then he dies—twice.
