Winner
of over 14 film awards and distinctions, including the CINE Golden
Eagle Award and the TELLY Gold Award, Cuba Mia captures the music of
Cuba as you have never seen before. This is a story of the amazingly
talented and spirited musicians of Camerata Romeu, an all women
orchestra, filled with dazzling faces and fiery performances that will
astonish and delight you. Led by Zenaida Romeu, one of the world's
most gifted conductors, their music infuses everything from Cuban folk
to Mozart, drawing on the popular rhythms of the island taken from
Africa, Spain and Latin America.
Funny, angry, lyrical and moving, Cuba Mia takes you behind the scenes
as ten dedicated musicians juggle a fierce rehearsal schedule,
boyfriends, girlfriends, grandparents and children, offering a slice
of Cuban life seldom seen on the world's screen. Their young lives
filled with dreams and sacrifices, victories and defeats, numbing work
and moments of genius. Cuba Mia offers an unforgettable message of
hope, an inspiring film matching stirring music with memorable
images-a celebration of talent, daring, imagination and dedication.
