Film Screening: El rey de la Habana (The King of Havana)

Reinaldo struggles to get by in the streets of Havana in the late 90s, one of the worst decades for Cuban society. Hopes, disillusionment, rum, good humor and above all hunger, accompany him in his wanderings. In the arms of others, he will try to escape the material and moral misery surrounding him, living love, passion, tenderness and uninhibited sex to the limit.
