Film Description
Tzunami is a down-to-earth young woman who nonetheless embodies the contradictions of modern Cuba and of teenage girls the world over. She likes Che Guevara for "his human interests and his international experiences," but she likes the Spice Girls even more. She recounts, with the precocious world-weariness of the newly experienced, her "lasting relationships" with boys, even as she fears that with her newfound maturity, love and marriage will separate her from her family.
Cuba 15, set to pulsating music against everyday Cuban backdrops, irresistibly captures Tzunami's youthful exuberance and provides a subtle and layered portrait of growing up in Cuba.
