Habanastation

Directed by Ian Padrón
Cuba
2011
96 mins

Mayito is a young boy whose wealthy jazz pianist father showers him with the latest PlayStation games. Accustomed to being driven to school with a TV in the car, he is the epitome of the successful student who does everything proper and usually receives whatever he wants.

When he gets lost during the May Day Celebration in Revolution Square, he finds himself in a poorer neighborhood outside Havana, where a fellow schoolmate, Carlos, lives. At first uncomfortable in the strange settings, he soon discovers the simple joys that Carlos and his friends experience without the latest electronic games and TV shows.

Presented by Miami Film Festival, Third Horizon, and Cinemóvil.

Screening as part of MFF Movies by Moonlight series. Entry is free.
