The film Todos Se Van (Everybody Leaves) is set in Cuba but was filmed mostly in Colombia because the director did not get permission to film in Cuba. The film tells the story of 8-year-old Nieves who is the object of her parents' custody battle. Her mother, Eva, is an artist who believes in the revolution and disagrees with censorship or authoritarianism. Her father, Manuel, is a playwright who sacrifices his artistic career to write government propaganda in a remote area of the country. Through her diary entries, Nieve reveals intimate details of a turbulent family life while painting an authentic portrait of the social and political unrest in Cuba under the rule of Castro.
Sergio Cabrera, the director of the film, will be available for a post-film Q&A.
