Cuban TikToker parodies Snow White: "I can't buy the apple, it's in MLC."

A TikToker has made a "creole" version of the Snow White story go viral, but in this adaptation, the princess lives in Cuba and her reality is shaped by the economic crisis that plagues the country.

Zequi Pérez, as he is known on social media, shared a video on TikTok (@zequi_perezz) where he sings a version of a well-known song from the Disney classic: “One day I will leave, I will cross the border…”.

Just at that moment, the "princess" of Cuba is interrupted by the witch of the story: "Would you buy me an apple?"

"They (the dwarfs) are a bit stingy and didn't give me any money," she points out.

The witch says, "Are you baking a cake?" To which the princess responds, "Moringa cake."

"Where did you get the flour and sugar? That's lost in this country," the villainess asks suspiciously.

"The dwarfs are working in a state bakery," says the young woman from royalty.

"Ohh!, good deal," the Witch pointed out. "But it would be even more delicious with one of these tasty apples."

To which Snow White responds: “It's that they are in MLC, they're very expensive. I can't buy them.” Although to be more realistic, possibly the only place where they can be found today is in the mipymes; not even in the foreign currency collection stores is there that type of fruit.

The villainess pretended to be in pain and asked the girl to let her in. The latter offered her water.

The witch, in gratitude, gifted him one of the apples, warning him that it will fulfill his dreams.

"My greatest wish is to receive parole," said Blancanieves, representing the dream that most young Cubans have today.

"And that a millionaire takes me to his mansion, and to have my own pink Lamborghini," she pointed out.

The elderly woman assured her that if she bit the apple, she would even have work permission and U.S. citizenship, reflecting one of the greatest anxieties that immigrants face: legal status.

"And what if I take the dinner? I was making a cake; it must have eggs," said the villain of the story.

Suddenly, a shout is heard: "Cutttt!".

In the sketch, another character arrives, the director, who scolds the witch for mentioning the word eggs, "what you should have said was to check if there was gas, because there is no gas anywhere," alluding to two products that are in short supply in Cuban households.
