Thus it was described by its director, also an actor, Omar Alí, at a press conference from the Héctor García Mesa hall of the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (Icaic).

This debut feature, which will premiere on October 10 at the Yara cinema, "has a very special treatment of certain things and I would like to say that it is a historical fiction, an exercise of thought about what certain historical events in Cuba were."

Alí, who has accumulated a broad and distinguished career in the performing arts, commented that the road to get here was very difficult, since over nearly seven years the production team had to overcome diverse obstacles.

In his opinion, it is a simple and human production, "that does not pretend to be great, because the greatness lies in what certain generations did in our life and what it falls to us to do."

The filmmaker thanked the audience, the people and institutions that made the project possible, and expressed his wish that young people understand with this film what they have always been and must be.

Also participating at the table were producer Inti Herrera, director of photography Alexander González, and actor Andros Perugorría.

Screenwriter Daniela Alí and actor Abel Molina were present online at this regular Tuesday gathering at Icaic to offer details of the cinematic universe.

The premiere of El Camino on October 10 at the Yara cinema celebrates Cuban Culture Day and the 50th anniversary of the Ministry of Culture.
