Mayabeque, Cuba_ The Cuban historical film, Inocencia, will be screened on March 20 at the amphitheater of the Lajero Exhibition Center at eight thirty in the evening with the participation of its director Alejandro Gil and part of the cast.

This fiction feature was the winner of the Audience Award at the 40th Festival of New Latin American Cinema.

The film tells about events related to the execution in 1871 of eight Cuban medical students by the Spanish colonial authorities, a moment in the history of the island that has never been tackled by the seventh art.

The film making team eluded the numerous material deficiencies typical of a Cuban company with a lot of heart, when deciding to concentrate on the life stories of the protagonists and in interiors of locations, illuminated with wisdom by the cinematographer Ángel Alderete, as if he painted an oil painting of the Baroque.

Inocencia becomes an inescapable document within the history of Cuba, which represents, perhaps, the highest praise.

The screening of Inocencia in San José de las Lajas is part of the collateral activities at the Book Fair in Mayabeque.
