Pablo Milanés

A documentary film that observes, listens to, and interacts with Fito Páez from a place of profound intimacy. The camera, almost invisible, witnesses his every move, accompanying him for over a year during recordings, rehearsals, tours, and performances in major cities across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. It is also a journey through the life of one of the greatest Spanish-language artists: his loves and heartbreaks, children and friendships, excesses, tragedies, failures, and successes.

A series of images, music and sounds which transport through Mexico's history, without any narrative sequence. The film spins constantly round the question 'Where are the singers from?'

Twenty years after Che’s death, in 1987, Pierre Richard and his journalist friend Jean Cormier set out to follow in his footsteps in Cuba. Through a series of encounters, their journey brings the revolutionary guerrilla back to life through numerous firsthand accounts.

An elderly man with wings is blown off course during a tropical storm in this symbolic fantasy. The Old Man lands near a Caribbean island where a poor family gives him shelter in a chicken coop. Father Gonzaga is the skeptical priest who rushes to damn the creature. Soon the Old Man is the subject of curiosity seekers as Elisinda and Pelayo start charging admission. A traveling carnival of human oddities camps near the Old Man as people flock to see the show. The Old Man is reduced to being an unwanted pet, and after six years, he mends his wings and flies away. Nudity, simulated sex with a spider woman, and the ugliness of human exploitation definitely put this fantasy in a category not for children.

Many recognize and admire the work and voice of Pablo Milanés. Few know the story of how he became an emblematic figure of Cuba and Latin America.This is a portrait of the artist, the battles he had to fight and the complex time he went through and how he enriched it with his singing.
