Desiderius loses Latina during a possession
Tromba cult in Madagascar. Desiderius, a photographer, films parts of Cuba as
he looks for Latina. In so doing, he talks to several people who attest to the
magnificence of the Revolution.
An annoying motif of Latina’s face, a young woman,
is shown as silly music plays to mark several moments when the searcher travels
in a car to another place rumoured to be where Latina is. Lines from Dali and Buňel
pop up as supers. Life and death topics are touched upon as people tale to
Desiderius. Latina is really Oshua, spirit God. Cuba never looked so dull. (The
film was screened at Vues d’Afrique Festival) in Montreal)
