Viva Cuba

An over-sweetened kiddies’ romance so ruthlessly set on a tone of winning charm as to be quite enervating. Malú and Jorgito’s love-hate playground relationship is put to the test when Malú’s mum announces plans to move away, prompting the pair into a runaway mission down the spine of the island in search of her lighthouse-keeper dad. Gorgeous scenery notwithstanding, this labours under winsome performances and ‘Amélie’-style digital whimsy, and offers Party-friendly lessons about the benefits of solidarity and the folly of emigration.
