The King of Havana (2015) El rey de La Habana (original title)
After escaping from a correctional facility, Reinaldo (played by Maikol David, shown above) tries to survive in the streets of Havana in the late 90’s, one of the worst decades for Cuban society. Hopes, disillusionments, rum, good humor and above all hunger, accompany him in his wandering, until he meets Magda and Yunisleidy, also survivors like him. Between the arms of one and the other, he will try to escape from the material and moral misery that surrounds him, living to the limit love, passion, tenderness and the most uninhibited sex.
An excellent film from Spain. Filmed in Spanish with available English subtitles. The storyline is riveting and Maikol David’s nude scenes are mesmerizing as no prosthetics are used for his genitalia! It’s all real!
