Honey for Oshun

When his father dies, a Cuban man who was raised in the United States, learns that he was not abandoned by his mother but illegally taken out of Cuba. He goes back to the island and is helped in his search by a cousin and a taxi driver.

Directed by Humberto Solás, Honey for Oshun leans on a strong ensemble — Jorge Perugorría, Isabel Santos, Mario Limonta — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2003.
