De Fabriek
1980, English. Directed by Hilly Molenaar & Joop van Wijk.
For one day, the film followed the workers at the Upmann cigar factory in Havana through their daily work routine, painting a portrait that is as endearing as it is informative, yet does not shy away from conflicts. The self-confidence, originality, wit, and warmth—as well as the productive drive—on display here made life in Cuba feel very complex and brought into sharp relief what this island stands to lose.
