Title:
The Cuban Theory of the Perfect Society
Synopsis:
This is the story of the creation of the "new man" in Cuba, 58 years after that goal was established. The interviewees theorize about the idea of creating a citizen stripped of the vices and burdens of the capitalist system. The film attempts to decipher the way in which life is lived from the marginality and its relationship with prohibitions.
