Wikipedia article




'Afinidades' is the debut feature film co-directed by Cuban director-actors Jorge Perugorra and Vladimir Cruz. They also both play the main roles in the film, a psychological drama. Cruz was also the screenwriter of the film, which is an adaptation of the Reynaldo Montero novel 'Msica de cmara'.

'Afinidades' was mostly filmed in Guam, in Cuba's Cinaga de Zapata region, with some parts shot in a studio built in Santa Fe, Havana. It premiered on 4 December 2010 at the Festival internacional de cine de La Habana.

Plot



The plot is around two couples. One pair is Perugorra and Spanish actress Cuca Escribano; the other is Cruz and Gabriela Griffith. Film takes place inland on fresh water, a great opportunity to meditate about the human being and its complexities, facing emptiness and the lack of rational explanation for many of the problems of the contemporary world, sometimes appearing that the only way out is to take refuge in instincts and sex. But the result is ephemeral and the attempt has unforeseeable consequences.[http://repeatingislands.com/2010/06/18/afinidades-new-film-by-vladimir-cruz-and-jorge-perugorria/ Repeating Islands: Afinidades, New Film by Vladimir Cruz and Jorge Perugorra]
