The Last Match
Sun. Sex. Soccer... Survival
Directed by Antonio Hens
Produced by El Azar, Malas Compañías
A gritty, intimate portrait of two young men from Havana's underworld struggling to sustain a forbidden love amid economic desperation and social hostility.
Cuba is not a country for young gays. Teen rent boy Reinier falls in love with a mate in the slum soccer field in their neighbourhood in Havana. Although obsessed with moneymaking to hold up his baby, teen wife, and wife's grandma, gambler Reinier always fails to get the stroke of luck he looks for. At the same time he cannot help being infatuated by Yosvani. Handsome Yosvani will give up his older, wealthy girlfriend (whom he hooked up to pay for a lavish life in the big city), and the work he does for her father, a loan thug, so much in love he is with Reinier. But the boys would fight hard to keep this love in the reckless Havana streets.
