Bíó Paradís í samstarfi við GayIceland.is kynnir: VIVA!
Jesus vinnur við förðun á drag skemmtistað á Havana, en dreymir sjálfum um að koma fram. Loks þegar hann fær tækifæri til þess, ræðst maður á hann úr áhorfendasalnum, sem reynist vera faðir hans sem hefur ekki verið hluti af lífi hans í 15 ár. Feðgarnir takast á, en kærleikurinn þeirra á milli rekur þá báða áfram í að reyna vera fjölskylda á nýjan leik. Frábær frammistaða leikarana hafa gert gagnrýnendur orðlausa, mynd sem þú vilt ekki missa af!

Jesus does make up for a troupe of drag performers in Havana, but dreams of being a performer. When he finally getsbs his chance to be on stage, a stranger emerges from the crowd and punches him in the face. The stranger is his father Angel, a former boxer, who has been absent from his life for 15 years. As father and son clash over their opposing expectations of each other, Viva becomes a love story as the men struggle to understand one another and become a family again.
“Irish-Cuban movie, Viva, is a genuine crowd-pleaser… The fresh setting and superb performances validate the audience’s rapture… the performances in this film are pitch perfect.” Hollywood Reporter
“Viva, shot and set in Cuba, calls on a set of remarkable performances to wring something vivid and often fresh out this narrative of redemption…at this film’s heart lies a real sense of tenderness.” The Guardian
