"Guantanamera"
1994
Directed by Tomas Gutierrez-Alea

This road movie intertwines the stories of two groups, members of a funeral procession and some truck drivers making the journey on the road to Havana. The film features Alea's wife and leading lady, Mirtha Ibarra, as ex-economics professor Georgina, who, with her husband, bureaucrat Adolfo (Carlos Cruz), tests a new funeral system with the body of Aunt Yoyita, an elderly singing star who returned to Cuba to visit an old flame and dropped dead in his arms. 104 minutes.
