A dazzling visual and auditory immersion into the life of a Cuban music icon: Willy Chirino.

With Chirino, Jorge Soliño adds to his remarkable film career with the first documentary about a living legend. From his joyful origins in the town of Consolación del Sur, in the province of Pinar del Río, to the emotional upheaval of family separation when he took the path of exile as part of the Operation Pedro Pan, to the international success of an unparalleled musical legacy.

The film includes recognition from Chrino’s family and contemporaries, and the adoration of his audience, and the ethical and moral commitment of an original artist to his time and his work.
