Luis Alberto García remembers the film Clandestinos: "Nothing and no one will make me renounce it."

"Fernando Pérez, Isabel Santos, and I were very happy making this film with love and for love. I sense that the rest of the cast and everyone who participated in it felt the same."


The popular Cuban actor Luis Alberto García Novoa recalled the movie Clandestinos (1987), starring him and Isabel Santos, and stated that nothing will make him regret it.

Luis Alberto shared on his Instagram account the final sequence of the film, in which his character Ernesto, a young man fighting with his girlfriend against Batista's dictatorship, is killed; a scene regarded as one of the most dramatic and emotional in Cuban cinema of all time.

"Ernesto and Nereida, who could very well be named Ángel and Norma, did what their conscience dictated to them at that time out of love and with love. Fernando Pérez, Isabel Santos, and I were very happy making this film with love and for love. I sense that the rest of the cast and everyone who participated in it felt the same," he said.

"I still believe, 37 years later, that it is a beautiful movie. Nothing and no one is going to make me renounce it. Nor from myself," he emphasized.

Premiered in 1988, Clandestinos is a dramatic film directed by Fernando Pérez, which tells the story of young people who fought against the tyranny of Fulgencio Batista in Havana.

Starring Luis Alberto García and Isabel Santos, supported by Susana Pérez, René Losada, Amado del Pino, Miguel Gutiérrez, and Miguel Navarro, the film was a great success and received numerous awards.

García Novoa shared another post on his social media this week asking his followers for their opinion to update his content on Instagram.

"I would like to know what content you would like me to publish. I kindly ask you to leave your proposals in the comments and help me share so that we can have a more comprehensive experience," he wrote.
