The Cuban film La Edad de la Peseta (The Silly Age) directed by Pavel Giroud, obtained an award over the weekend at the 47th Cartagena Cinema and Television Festival.
Pavel Girauds fiction debut deals with the relationship between a child about to enter adolescence and his grandmother set in 1950s Havana.
The movie competed against 18 films from 12 countries at the event dedicated this year to Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez who is celebrating his 80th birthday.
La Edad de la Peseta also won an award last year at the Toronto Film Festival dedicated to "Provocative movies from new and emerging directors."
