Havana Film Festival opens with dramatic Argentine comedy

Havana, Dec 5 (Prensa Latina) "Los Domingos Mueren Más Personas" (Most People Die on Sundays) is the title of the Argentine film that will be screened at Charles Chaplin movie theater after the opening of the 45th Havana International New Latin American Cinema Festival.

Written and directed by Iair Said, with music by Franz Ascari, and photography by Giovanni Cimarosti, the 2024 film is co-produced by Argentina, Italy, and Switzerland.

The 77-minute comedy-drama film tells the story of David, a middle-class Jewish boy, overweight, homosexual, and afraid of flying, who returns to Buenos Aires from Europe when his uncle dies, the Filmaffinity specialized website stated.

On his return, the young man learns that his mother has decided to disconnect his father’s respirator, the only thing that has kept him alive for years.

The first two chapters of Netflix’s version of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude” will be screened at Yara movie theater.

Restored classics, including two titles from Argentina: “La tregua” (Truce) by Sergio Renant, based on the work of the same name by Mario Benedetti, and “Camila” by Maria Luisa Bemberg, a landmark among all the films shown at the Maximum Cinema event in Cuba, which was awarded the Coral Prize, will also be screened.
