The Sea Has No MemoryHavet har inget minne
Strong leaders and grandiose utopias make a lethal combination. Lars-Lennars Forsberg first visited Cuba in 1968. Like many of his contemporaries in the west, he saw the Cuban revolution of 1958 as an example of how Latin America could rise from poverty and oppression rather than as a threat. Back to Cuba thirty-two years later, he finds a revolution grown old, an aged Castro and a politically increasingly isolated Cuba. At the end of worlds great socialistic experiments, Cuba appears as a left over example of the utopian society, standing in the way of its own development. In a way that is both humoristic, poetical and intimate he contrasts new material to pictures of enthusiasm and political fire which he took a generation earlier.
