In a tale akin to Romeo and Juliet, the friendship between two children is threatened by their parents’ differences.

Malu is from an upper-class family and her single mother does not want her to play with Jorgito.

Jorgito’s mother is a poor socialist, proud of her family’s social standing, who places similar restrictions on her son. What neither woman recognizes is the immense strength of the bond between Malu and Jorgito.

When the children learn that Malu’s mother is planning to leave Cuba, they decide to travel to the other side of the island to find Malu’s father and persuade him against signing the forms that would allow it.

Juan Carlos Cremata’s two young stars are captivating, real naturals the camera can’t resist. You’ll remember them long after you’ve left the theater. Viva Cuba won 34 national and international awards in all.
