Laura is a college professor researching the life of Alberto Yarini y Ponce de León, a famous early-20th century Cuban pimp who was shot to death by French rivals who controlled the early-century prostitution industry. While attempting to bring his historical relevance to light, she enters one of Cuba’s most complex underworlds. But beneath the surface narrative, Los Dioses Rotos interweaves clashing values, becoming a reflection on the ethics and morals of a diverse cast of characters who challenge the simplistic clichés of “good and evil”.

 

Laura es una profesora universitaria que investiga sobre el famoso proxeneta cubano Alberto Yarini y Ponce de León, asesinado a balazos por sus rivales franceses que controlaban el negocio de la prostitución en La Habana de comienzos del siglo XX. Interesada en demostrar la vigencia del legendario personaje, se adentra en una de las zonas más complejas de la realidad habanera de hoy. Pero más allá de su anécdota, Los Dioses Rotos es una trama de valores enfrentados; una reflexión en torno a perspectiva ética y moral de un grupo de personajes -de todos los niveles socioculturales- entre quienes los clichés de “positivos” y “negativos” no resultan sencillos de etiquetar.

Ernesto Daranas was born in 1961 in Havana, Cuba. He has worked in radio, television and film, and more recently on the documentary Los Ultimos Gaiteiros, which won the Premio Internacional de Periodismo Rey de Espana award, one of the most important in the Spanish language. Los Dioses Rotos is his first film. In 2008 it won the audience award at the Havana Film Festival.
