This Monday marked the premiere of the third episode of the Cuban comedy show Vivir del Cuento. Titled "Odyssey 2024," the episode features Pánfilo, Chequera, and Isidoro assisting a neighbor with the procedures to obtain Spanish citizenship.
As the title suggests, the odyssey not only refers to the Greek epic poem but also to the endless torment the characters endured while trying to trace the supposed Spaniard's ancestry. The neighbor aiming to become Spanish is none other than Voltímetro. Despite Pánfilo's skepticism about his heritage, Voltímetro speaks in an impeccable Spanish accent, reveals his Basque surname, and even shows photos of his cousins, who bear no resemblance to him whatsoever.
Pánfilo, Chequera, and Isidoro embark on a mission to trace Voltímetro's Spanish relatives through birth and death certificates, but they hit a significant roadblock when they can't find the marriage certificate of Voltímetro's grandfather. The situation gets even more complicated when the only source of information is Voltímetro's 90-year-old aunt, whose memory is far from reliable.
Before "Odyssey 2024," the popular comedy series had premiered two other episodes, "The Invisible Man" and "Chess Simultaneous," and none of the three have disappointed the Cuban audience.
