Ciudad en Rojo

How violence escalates in the calm life of various persons and social groups in a city and forever changes not only daily lives but also the relationship between parents and children, between friends, lovers and even the most hidden and intimate feelings of the people and their dreams. This reflection is not abstract, but stems from very specific stories of a group of characters, mainly young. These are stories full of truth not only inspired by the pages of José Soler Puig’s novel Bertillón 166, but by the very history of Santiago de Cuba towards the end of the ‘50s. They are fiction stories which nevertheless bear witness of a historic moment in which the entire city was covered with blood.
