Plot synopsis

[edit]

The film tells the stories of three end-of-the millennium Cubans, whose lives intersect on the Day of Santa Barbara (the African Saint Chango, ruler of destinies). Mariana, a ballerina, ponders breaking chastity vows she made to land the coveted role of Giselle; Julia has fainting spells each time she hears the word "sex," and Elpidio, a musician, seduces a gringa tourist while Bebe, the narrator, takes the viewer for a taxi ride along the streets of Havana.

Accolades

Life is to Whistle won the Grand Coral at the Havana Film Festival in 1998.
