The film ‘Calle 232’, directed by Rudy Mora, premiered at Cine Yara in Havana. A co-production between Cuba’s Icaic and Mexico’s DMM Films, the movie explores themes of population aging, the loneliness of the elderly, and the realities of caregivers. The plot centers on a film director who becomes disabled after an accident and faces abandonment, eventually being cared for by a young man named Abel.

Following its initial premiere and a previous award at the International Festival of New Latin American Cinema, the film has transitioned into a national theatrical release in Cuba. Cast members described the production as a “call to rediscover values and the desire to help those in need.”

As part of its scheduled exhibition tour across various Cuban provinces, the film premiered at the Complejo Audiovisual Nuevo Mundo in Camagüey. The 90-minute feature follows Atila Romero, a director who suffers a sudden illness causing a radical loss of intellectual capacity. The film previously received the Asociación Quisicuaba collateral award at the 46th International Festival of New Latin American Cinema.
