"A Breezy Sexual Odyssey About Love And Breaking The Rules"-Playboy Magazine
In this romantic comedy from the directors of Strawberry and Chocolate, Yoyita, a now world famous diva, returns to her home town of Guantanamo for an elegant reception in her honor and a surprising reunion with her once beloved, Candido.Overjoyed with the rekindled memories of her first love, Yoyita's elated heart fizzles while in Candido's doting embrace.
Joining Yoyita's funeral procession back to Havana are her sexy niece Gina, a former professor blacklisted for political nonconformity, and her husband Adolfo, a tasteless government official in charge of the funeral's proceedings.As the cortege winds westward across Cuba, its path keeps crossing that of Mariano, a gallant truck driver who once had a student crush on Gina and whose recurring presence crystallizes her doubts about her marriage.
Guantanamera is so fluid and easygoing, and its golden summertime ambiance so captivating that one might not immediately realize the film is also an ambitious and remarkably bold overview of contemporary Cuba.
