The year is 2020. The Castro dictatorship was defeated
years earlier. According to international experts and researchers, Cuba's
communist military regime created several contingency hiding zones whose
coordinates were erased from official Cuban maps. In a very remote location
near the high Sierra Maestra Mountains, there is one such hideout. It is
called Punto X. A former General named Eulalio and his (kidnapped) female
companion and former lover, Yari, have been hiding at Punto X for five
years, waiting to be rescued so they can flee the country and avoid being
arrested and tried for the many human right violations they perpetrated.
Through the three characters -Commander Eulalio; his companion-hostage Yari;
and Adrian, the United Nations investigator-
CUBA: PUNTO X, exposes through
fiction a hypothetical look at a future Cuban reality.
Es el año 2020. La dictadura de los Castro ha terminado.
Según expertos analistas, el régimen militar comunista de Cuba creó varias
zonas secretas de contingencia - refugios - cuyas coordenadas se borraron
oficialmente del mapa. Uno de esos refugios es Punto X, localizado en un
lugar remoto y desconocido de la Sierra Maestra. En Punto X se esconden hace
cinco años el excomandante Eulalio y la que fuese su asistente y amante,
Yari. Ambos cometieron innumerables violaciones de los derechos humanos durante
el castrismo, y aguardan en Punto X que alguien los recate y los saque de la
isla para evadir juicio. Investigadores apoyados por la Comisión
Internacional de Derechos Humanos andan en busca de los fugitivos. A través
de sus tres personajes - el comandante Eulalio, su compañera casi rehén,
Yari, y el investigador Adrián de Naciones Unidas-
CUBA: PUNTO X brinda en
ficción una mirada hipo tética hacia una futura realidad cubana.
