Afinidades (English: Affinities) is the debut feature film co-directed by Cuban director-actors Jorge Perugorría and Vladimir Cruz. They also both play the main roles in the film, a psychological drama. Cruz was also the screenwriter of the film, which is an adaptation of the Reynaldo Montero novel Música de cámara.

Afinidades was mostly filmed in Guamá, in Cuba's Ciénaga de Zapata region, with some parts shot in a studio built in Santa Fe, Havana. It premiered on 4 December 2010 at the Festival internacional de cine de La Habana.

Synopsis

The plot is around two couples. One pair is Perugorría and Spanish actress Cuca Escribano; the other is Cruz and Gabriela Griffith. Film takes place inland on fresh water, a great opportunity to meditate about the human being and its complexities, facing emptiness and the lack of rational explanation for many of the problems of the contemporary world, sometimes appearing that the only way out is to take refuge in instincts and sex. But the result is ephemeral and the attempt has unforeseeable consequences.

Octobre 1965, New York. Les traditionnels géants des Fêtes de Pampelune sont invités à défiler sur la 5ème avenue. Mais les autorités américaines interdisent la participation des deux géants noirs dans le contexte de la ségrégation raciale. C’en est trop pour Manex qui, fidèle à ses convictions et son tempérament rebelle, fausse compagnie à ses collègues. Il part à la découverte du New York de la lutte pour les droits civiques et de la contre-culture. Il est alors loin de s’imaginer que c’est le début pour lui d’un périple loin de son Pays Basque natal, entre Cuba et Mexico, en passant par Alger et Montréal. Il y croisera des militants de tous bords, des agents de la CIA, des femmes passionnées et révolutionnaires… Entre voyage initiatique et odyssée libertaire, Manex traverse le monde en ébullition de cette fin des années 60, celui de la Guerre Froide et des mouvements de libération des peuples.

Après seize ans d'exil en Espagne, Amadeo revient à La Havane et retrouve ses quatre amis de toujours, Tania, Rafa, Aldo et Eddy. Aux retrouvailles empreintes de nostalgie et d'évocation de souvenirs de jeunesse vont très vite succéder les questions, les reproches, la rancœur. Pourquoi Amadeo est-il parti, pourquoi n'est-il jamais revenu, pourquoi chacun d'entre eux est devenu ce qu'il est aujourd'hui. Et en filigrane, derrière les échanges empreints à la fois de tendresse et de colère, vont lentement se dévoiler les rouages de toutes les dictatures – et de celle de Cuba en particulier – et la façon dont celles-ci broient les individus et leurs aspirations.
