Dublin, February 7, 2020. As part of the 2020 edition of the Hispanic Cinema Fortnight of the Cervantes Institute in Dublin, the Cuban film “Why are my friends crying” was screened last night, by Cuban director Magda González Grau, a story of the reunion of four friends who reflect on the value of friendship and the concerns of Cuban women today.
The film was presented by the Cuban ambassador, Hugo Rene Ramos Milanes and had an excellent reception, which was evidenced in a projection room filled by the Irish and Latin American public.
The film exalts friendship as one of the values by which any obstacle can be overcome, including the passage of time and remoteness. Issues as pressing as respect for the other and the possibility of growing as human beings, are intertwined in the conflict of this psychological drama.
This film won the “Caracol” Prize in 2018 and has been presented at various international festivals.
