With Fidel Whatever Happens

About This Movie

With Fidel Whatever Happens dives into life in Sierra Maestra, Cuba, just before a significant anniversary. The pacing feels almost meditative, capturing the rhythm of daily life with a focus on ordinary individuals—an old man tinkering with a vintage motorcycle, a young dentist navigating transport challenges through rugged terrain. The film has a raw quality, unvarnished by heavy editing or flashy effects. It’s more about the lives and stories of the locals, their resilience, and their connection to the historical weight of the Revolution. You can feel the atmosphere of a place steeped in history, but also in the present struggles of its people. A unique piece that reflects how history shapes everyday existence.
