The Cuban actor Néstor Jiménez suffered the theft of his motorcycle, as reported during a celebration held after the premiere of the film Neurótica anónima, directed by Jorge Perugorría and starring Mirtha Ibarra. The incident overshadowed the joy of the artists gathered to celebrate the film's release in Havana.
The incident was reported on Facebook by the casting director Libia Batista Mora, who expressed her regret about what happened in a post regarding the meeting following the premiere.
"It's a shame that Néstor Jiménez had his motorcycle stolen; the joy thereafter turned into sadness," wrote Batista Mora.
The casting director also expressed her concern about the insecurity and thefts in Cuba, which she finds increasingly alarming, and warned about the danger these situations represent for people's lives.
Her complaint was accompanied, in addition, by a message of congratulations to Perugorría, known to his close friends as Pichi, and to the film team, whose presentation had been a cause for celebration among the participants.
The national premiere of Neurótica anónima took place on Friday, October 16, at the Yara cinema in Havana, where numerous spectators attended the screening despite the rain.
The film, based on a play written by Mirtha Ibarra, tells the story of Iluminada, an usher who tries to prevent the demolition of the cinema where she has worked for decades.
Néstor Jiménez is part of a cast that includes Roberto Perdomo, Osvaldo and Andrea Doimeadiós, Fernando Hechavarría, Vladimir Cruz, and Tahimí Alvariño, among other figures from Cuban cinema and television.
The feature film is also Cuba's submission aiming for a nomination for the 2027 Goya Awards in the category of Best Ibero-American Film.
At the moment, the exact circumstances of the robbery and the location where the motorcycle disappeared are unknown. It has also not been reported whether the actor filed a police report or if the vehicle has been recovered.
