Habana Blues
Director Benito Zambrano, 2005, 110 mins, Spain/Cuba/France, 15 certificate

Final film in free mini season of Spanish cinema!

A tribute to the unique atmosphere of Havana that follows Ruy and Tito, two young Cuban musicians who dream of making it big – but at what cost? This toe-tapping exploration of life in contemporary Cuba celebrates the joie de vivre of contemporary Cuban music but also takes a hard look at the political and personal compromises that have to be made to realise one's dreams...
