Maria and Osmey

Diego Arradondo

 

2007

This short film tells the story of a group of Cuban children that play a baseball game in their local neighbourhood. Osmey and Maria, together with their friends, make a baseball using a deodorant can and some tape. During their match several situations arise which become conflicts that are resolved in ways only children can manage. A closer inspection of the game reveals the dynamics of participation, leadership and equality. Oblivious to events outside their game, a radio announces changes in Cuba that will one day have dramatic effects on their lives.
