Film A Translator in Cuban cinemas
Havana, Cuba. – The Cuban-Canadian film Un traductor (A Translator) reaches movie theaters across the country as part of the Summer Film Festival program, which runs through September 1.
The film, directed by brothers Rodrigo and Sebastián Barriuso, premiered in Cuba during the 40th International Festival of New Latin American Cinema, and it was well received by the public and specialized critics.
The film has an international cast, with performances by Brazil’s Rodrigo Santoro and Cubans, Eslinda Nuñez, Jorge Molina and Osvaldo Doimeadiós.
A Translator takes place in Havana at the end of the 1980s, when hundreds of children from the then Soviet Union were received in Cuba to be treated for exposure to radiation resulting from the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine.
