A satirical look at Miami’s Cuban political and cultural landscape unfolds in this Spanish-language comedy screening at the Koubek Center. The event takes place Wednesday, April 15, as part of the 43rd Miami Film Festival, featuring the world premiere of Miami Stories.
Directed by Eliecer Jimenez Almeida, the film brings together a range of characters inspired by both sides of Cuba’s ideological divide, reimagining real and fictional figures through humor and exaggeration. Through overlapping narratives and sharp dialogue, the story explores themes of identity, exile and media culture in Miami, using satire to highlight the complexities of political expression and public discourse.
The screening includes appearances by members of the film’s creative team, offering audiences insight into the project’s development and perspective. Presented as part of the festival’s “Made in MIA” and “Spotlight on Cuba” programs, the film reflects Miami’s ongoing role as a center for Cuban and Cuban-American storytelling.
