Synopsis

Exploring the boundaries between ethnography and documentary, El árbol de las fresas reconstructs the final days of Juan Antonio, one of Cuba’s last fishing villages, just before it disappeared at the hands of a hurricane. Through the daily routines of two families, Silva Ocampo and Silva Vida, as they prepare for Children’s Day and the next day’s fishing expedition, the tension between the village and its ultimate fate becomes tangible. –Locarno Film Festival

Art requires skill and/or genius... In this day of instant everything, anyone with a computer & digital camera is an artist. In other media, anyone who expresses himself in such "bold" moves as cartoons, paint splattered on a wall, or cardboard shredded on the floor calls himself an artist. Meanwhile, the public is too afraid to object, that they will be called "unsophisticated." This movie was such low skill crap
