Sinekatalog’s take
Humberto Solás's short feature follows a young woman who joins the Cuban revolutionary fighters in the Sierra. Lyrical and fresh, with the energy of early revolutionary cinema, it is a vivid, intimate portrait of a rebel.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
