Institute History
Description
Laurita, the teenage daughter of Laura, stops going to school. She stares at the wall, stays with hippie friends, and decides to travel to Madagascar. Mother and daughter do not understand each other, and the situation becomes more difficult every day.
A film by director Fernando Pérez, Madagascar is a portrait of Cuban society after the war. Starring Zaida Castellanos and Laura de la Uz, the film painfully depicts the hopelessness of Cuban youth. Madagascar won the Jury Award at the 1994 Havana Film Festival.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications.

For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
