UK Premiere
Fifty years after the Cuban revolution a new one is about to start! Zombie horror Juan de los muertos is the most talked about Cuban production of 2011, bringing Cuban independent filmmaking to an international audience. Juan is a forty-year-old slacker living a laid-back life in Havana with his close-knit group of friends: Lázaro, Vladi, El Chino and El Primo. When violence springs up around the city, and inhabitants start to attack one another, talk of a political dissident uprising is rife. But Juan and his gang soon discover their enemy is more dangerous than any ideological opponent, and armed with some home-made weapons and the desire to make a quick buck, Juan sets out to rid Havana of the undead.
