But, in the words of Fernando Ortiz taken from his seminal "Cuban Counterpoint", the bell was to be replaced later "by the steam or electric whistle, which now calls the workers with its ear-piercing noise, like the whistle of a monstrous foreman made of steel." In the light of the deep scars left behind by slavery and colonization, this film, shot in Colombia and Cuba, deals with sugar cane production and railways as the necessary machinery of exploitation. It is brought to life by the voices of those who tamed the beast of steel, and maybe also grew a bit fond of it. Only through them a transformation of industrial wasteland into dreamscapes becomes possible, in defiance of a world full of hardship and noise. In this sense, the film is intended as a tribute to the workers of land and steel, to the Caribbean and Andean sugar cane harvesters and railway workers. See less
