Summary/Abstract: ’90s, counteracting the revolutionary myth that was persistently pushed by the Castro-regime. They show the miserable every-day life of people, a society interwoven with corruption and hopelessness, and the different ways of preserving power: for example, excluding people with different opinions, the creation of enemies, a spy-network that permeates everything.
