Movie description:
Martí, between 9 and 17: the only years in which he closely experienced his homeland and learned to love and understand it, to do the great work that occupied the rest of his life. It is not a biography: it is a spiritual journey.
Pérez’s new feature film focuses on the life of José Martí, also known as El Apóstol, from age 9 to 17. The film is described as a look into the inner world of José Julián Martí Pérez and the formation of his character as a fair man and not a biography, but rather a spiritual journey. The director explains: Jose Martí was a truly sensitive man who marked the history of Cuba. But he was also a normal human being, like any one of us. I think that is what makes great men great. My film will delve into the day-to-day complexity that helped form Marti’s character during his childhood and teenage years. The point of view will lean more towards the personal rather than the historical; more subjective than biographic. Each Cuban has [his / her] own Martí. In this film, I would like to express my own.
