ONE NIGHT
by Lucy Mulloy
Country: Cuba, UK, USA
Year: 2012
Duration: 90'


Raúl would like to leave Havana and begin a new life in Miami. He confides his dream to his friend Elio, and the two begin to build a boat to cross the ninety miles of ocean separating them from Florida. When Raúl is accused of aggression by a tourist, there is no time to lose: he has to leave Cuba as quickly as possible. Elio thus has to decide whether to follow his friend or remain behind with his twin sister, Lila, who feels that Raúl has intruded on the exclusive relationship she has with her brother.

Declaration

film director

“I worked with the actors for a year, and during that process, I was training them about different aspects of filmmaking, getting them ready with a camera, teaching about continuity, just the dedication that it takes to. [...] When we were doing scenes, we kind of learned a shorthand together, that really helped, because when we were on the set then, when we were shooting the movie, I knew a hundred percent that they knew what they were doing, and they knew the script and everything was like clockwork for them really, even though they still kept it fresh.”
