One Night
Desperate youths Raul and Elio see their sweaty dreams slip further and further away from them in the sultry Havana backstreets. Living in extreme poverty, the only money they make comes from an eatery for loaded tourists. After an accident sees Raul wanted by the police, the hot-headed teenager decides it’s high time to take the leap and cross the 90 miles of ocean that separate him from Miami, like he’s always wanted.
Desperate youths Raul and Elio see their sweaty dreams slip further and further away from them in the sultry Havana backstreets. Living in extreme poverty, the only money they make comes from an eatery for loaded tourists. After an accident sees Raul wanted by the police, the hot-headed teenager decides it’s high time to take the leap and cross the 90 miles of ocean that separate him from Miami, like he’s always wanted. Elio is now called upon to make up his mind whether his passion for freedom and his feelings for Raul are stronger than his bond with his twin sister, who he will have to abandon forever. The surprise debut by Lucy Mulloy swept the awards at the Tribeca Film Festival, thanks to brilliant performances by three untrained actors. A coming-of-age story that refuses easy sentimentality, "Una Noche" captures the light, the magic and the squalor of the streets of Havana, blurring the line between reality and fiction. It’s no accident that en route to the film’s New York premiere, two of the leads defected to the US and are now seeking political asylum. K.Th.
