Guantanamera

In Cuba during the Special Period, a funeral procession sets out along a road it must share with truckdrivers headed the same way. Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío put Georgina (Mirta Ibarra) and Mariano (Jorge Perugorría) among the mourners and drivers who keep meeting at each stop. The hearse and the trucks share the road, and the journey is long enough that the talking starts to run both ways.
