El Titiritero de La Habana
The puppeteer of Havana
directed by Wolf Hermsen
A film of 113 minutes
filmed in Havana/ Cuba with cuban actors including
Ramiro Ruiz Hernandez, Olga Lidia Alfonso, Luis Crespo, Hubert Delgado, Yusimí Hechavarria Serrano.
Roberto, a puppeteer from Havana, has a dream. He hopes that a festival
manager, whom he met years before, invites him and his puppets to Oslo.
His dream turns into an obsession and his family starts doubting his
mental state. They don't know that Roberto owns another set of puppets
in an old ruinous shed in a backyard. He once prepared these puppets
with the hair and blood of his deceased wife Olga to lend the puppet a
stronger artistic expression.
