A Different Kind Of Cuban Comedy

Beginning in May, 1980, 130,000 Cubans departed from the port of Mariel for Key West, Florida. Ramon is a `Marielito', the new Cuban refugee. His adaptation to life in the United States is a difficult process. First, he must overcome the negative stereotype associated with being a `Marielito' (notoriously introduced to the public by Al Pacino's character in Brian DePalma's "Scarface"). Next, there is the matter of finding a job and otherwise integrating into North American society. Through it all, he finds freedom, abundance, confusion and deceitbut he also finds `Amigos'.

A movie to know the other side of the coin

Amigos is a low budget film that makes justice to Cuban refugees arriving to USA in the 1980 boatlift. If Scarface only focused in the bad reputation of those forced in the boats by Castro's government, Amigos on the other hand shows the anguish and suffering of human beings escaping from a dictatorship and arriving to a new country where they must struggle for survival. This is achieved balancing drama, history and a touch of comedy.Amigos takes the stain that a few gave to the majority of those refugees and presents them like they really were: human beings in search of peace, work and freedom.
