- "Not everything is what it seems". This is the motto of Fernando Pérez's Madrigal, an esoteric fable built, in the first part, around a handsome actor's love story with an overweight and homely girl (does he have eyes for her, or for her swanky apartment?) and, in the second part, recounting the story of a futuristic novel the actor is writing (which turns Havana into some dark orgyesque playground with a film noir tone).

- Based on the life of Benny Moré, the film concentrates on a period in the early 1950s when Moré leaves the orchestra of Duany and starts his own 'Banda Gigante'. In flashback we learn of his success in Mexico. Moré is caught in the events connected to Batista's coup in Cuba. Also, he tours Venezuela, where he suffers the machinations of a vengeful businessman. After collapsing and being hospitalised, Moré swears off alcohol. Some years later, he encounters his old band-mate Monchy, fallen on hard times.

Soon, pale-skinned Cecilia catches the eye of the estate owner's son, Leonardo. Cecilia bows to Leonardo's demands provided he agrees to shelter a wounded member of the resistance movement at his home. Leonardo's wealthy father, Cándido de Gamboa, arranges the engagement of his son to a white girl of their own class. Cecilia tries to stop the wedding with tragic results.

This brings her into contact with earthy, cynical hospital nurse Ernesto (Jorge Perugorria). Estela invites him home for dinner, and he succeeds in offending everyone present. Unable to find a quiet spot to be alone, they finally find a squatters' tenement, where their sexual frenzy causes a ceiling to collapse. They next try vertical love in a stalled elevator, trapping people in the modern building minus stairs. Fleeing responsibilities, they stage a romantic rendezvous alongside a country river, but once again they are interrupted as Cuban commissars arrive with papers and forms because the couple constructs a hut beneath a bridge. Amid the misadventures, lust turns to love
- A vampire family from Cuba is preparing for a showdown between the USA vampires and the Eastern European vampires. But with the aid of a scientist, they need a type of vaccination where they can live in daylight.
- Caballos talks about marginal characters, virtually none will assists. Scenarios decadent, full of the weariness and boredom are the days that we played in luck. This work aims to delve into the contradictions of a society: immobility, loss of illusion, the collapse of the Revolution program. Cuban Film productions in recent years have been characterized mostly by a formal and thematic lightness, seeking to establish a clearly visible manner 'here and now.' Underestimates the average viewer with narrative entertainment facility that most elementary aspire. Disbelieve the claims of aesthetic styles and trends to contemporary cinema. He denies that which is different from the canon and official discourse. We need an auteur cinema, lack the voice generational dialogue with oxygenated and art that does not represent us. There are few spaces that support the production of new filmmakers. Caballos tries to reflect from the provocation. Its greatest strength lies in the exploration of form and expression. The function of art will always be destabilizing, but with an artistic arsenal. I think this film could be a revealing document of our time. Only then will we know why a horse is a beautiful spectacle. Fabián Suárez
