"Maisinicú, medio siglo después" closed the Cuban film festival in the U.S.

The feature film is a tribute to the five decades of the film El Hombre de Maisinicú (1973) by Manuel Pérez, a classic of Cuban cinema based on the story of State Security agent Alberto Delgado, murdered by counterrevolutionary gangs on April 29, 1964.

According to Lobaina in an interview with Prensa Latina in Washington DC, the filming project arose from “the affinity I have had for a long time with the film, even since I was a child, and also for having coincided fortuitously with the director Manuel Perez”.
