falling
apart

seams.

on

marriage

sexy
mistress,

he
has
just

released
from

superior
has
handed
him
an

considers
beneath
him.

when
an
unknown
body
is
found
in
the
woods,
and
nobody
cares,
Dani
finds
a
cause
he
can
believe
in.

We’ve
all
heard
the
dreaded
words
that
usually
lead
to
a
breakup:
"I
just
need
some
time
by
myself,"
or
"Let’s
take
a
little
break;
it’ll
make
us
stronger
in
the
end"
-
and
we
all
know
that
these
are
just
euphemisms
people
use
when
they
want
to
look
for
guilt-free
action
elsewhere.
This
pivotal
moment
is
the
starting
point
of
Francisca
Schweitzer

Pablo

Time

an

West

Premiere
Cuba
2005
80
min.
directed
by
Juan
Carlos
Cremata
Malberti
produced
by
Nicolas
Duval-Adassovsky
written
by
Juan
Carlos
Cremata
Malberti
&
Manolito
Rodríguez
Ramírez
starring
Malú
Tarrau
Broche,
Jorgito
Miló
Ávila,
Luisa
María
Jiménez
Rodríquez
In
a
tale
akin
to
Romeo
and
Juliet,
the
friendship
between
two
children
is
threatened
by
their
parents’
differences.
Malú
is
from
an
upper-class
family
and
her
single
mother
(Larisa
Vega
Alamar)
does
not
want
her
to
play
with
Jorgito,
as
she
thinks
his
background
coarse
and
commonplace.
Jorgito’s
mother
(Luisa
María
Jiménez
Rodríguez),
a
poor
socialist
proud
of
her
family’s
social
standing,
places
similar
restrictions
on
her
son.
What
neither
woman
recognizes
is
the
immense
strength
of
the
bond
between
Malú
and
Jorgito.
When
the
children
learn
that
Malú’s
mother
is
planning
to
leave
Cuba,
they
decide
to
travel
to
the
other
side
of
the
island
to
find
Malú’s
father
and
persuade
him
against
signing
the
forms
that
would
allow
it.
