15^th Latin American and Spanish Film Week 

In an alternate reality, Fidel Castro uses genetic engineering to build the new man and thus save utopia. The experiment fails as the new creatures are highly intelligent but also cruel and uncontrollable. Rejected by their own creators, a group of these beings organizes a series of terrorist actions, and chaos reigns on the island. Elena, one of its members, traces the origin of her genes and begins a journey to try to discover her humanity. Corazón azul is a dystopian political sci-fi that reflects contemporary Cuba’s tribulations.

Director in attendance! stay for a conversation and Q&A session with director Miguel Coyula after the show.
