Fate demanded that this short film dealing with the death of Fidel Castro would have its first public screening just three days before Castro's actual death. Of course, it makes the short become instantly outdated in a way because of the circumstances of his real death being quite different, but one way or the other I thought it was very clever in its premise, funny and tragic at the same time.

However, I must advise you to do your best at not looking at the short's promotional poster seen here on IMDb without watching the film first. Are you familiar with that infamous video cover of "Planet of the Apes" that has the twist ending in plain sight? Well, the poster here is exactly the same case. So much as to make watching the short redundant and unnecessary, as it's all spoiled there. It would be like putting the Skywalker family tree in the first release poster for "The Empire Strikes Back".

It you bend the poster bullet, the short itself is more than recommended, regardless of what one thinks of Fidel Castro. Also I think it's Eduardo Casanova's best work yet, the couple shorts by him I've seen before, including the controversial "Eat my Sh*t", left me quite cold for being way too over the top kitschy for my tastes, kind of Almodóvar up to 11. This one is kinda kitschy too, but less over the top and I think it works better. It's on YouTube at the moment of this posting, and it has no spoken dialogue so you can watch it regardless of your language. Just, you know, avoid looking at the poster until afterwards.
