Guillermina 2019 / Documentary / Cuba | Spain | Brazil
17min
Based on a true story, “Guillermina” is a film that reconstructs the memories of the trace left in a 9-year-old child, the son of a well-to-do family in Havana in the 1940s, his wet-nurse, a black woman named Guillermina. From the memories of his early childhood the story unfolds, overflowing and transcending the events narrated by the protagonist. It is a work where animation and archival images are intertwined to lead the public to question what they hear and observe.
