What Guantanamera Is About
The last film Tomás Gutiérrez Alea made, co-directed with Juan Carlos Tabío. When old Yoyita dies during a visit to Guantánamo, her body has to be taken to Havana, and the journey turns into a bureaucratic arrangement in which one hearse hands the coffin to the next. The man who devised that arrangement is a fastidious official with political ambitions. Encounters with truck drivers travelling the same road supply the comedy. It is set during the years of impoverishment Cuba called the special period, after Soviet aid ended, and the film takes open aim at bureaucracy, at performed machismo, and at how far the country stands from its own stated ideals. It caused argument at home.
