Melaza Cuba, France, Panama 2012 – 80min.
Short description
Molasses is a brown, thick substance. Melaza is the name of the fictitious village on the former sugar producer Cuba, where sugar production is long since history. No alternatives were developed; a run-down but intact factory remains outside the village as a symbolic reminder of what was and what may come again. The village certainly hopes so, even as they try to keep their heads above water. Mónica and Aldo are such a couple. They live with an overweight daughter and Mónica’s paraplegic mother in hut made of corrugated iron. Mónica is the sugar factory’s last employee, even though she has nothing to do. Aldo teaches at a primary school that itself seem closed.
