A deeply personal portrait of Cuban music icon Pablo Milanés, captured in self-imposed exile during his final years.
Milanés, co-founder of the Nueva Trova movement with Silvio Rodríguez, was a major voice in Cuba's revolutionary cultural movement. This film, directed by his adopted son Fabien Pisani, combines interviews with musical luminaries such as Serrat, Chico Buarque, Harry Belafonte and Fito Páez, alongside intimate moments of Milanés in his final years, looking frail and reflecting on the fading Cuban Utopia. It’s a striking cinematic portrait of the artist. As memories of the past surface, so does the broad disillusionment of the singer and his peers, a generation of artists who were once devoted to the Revolution but who now question its legacy.
