what do you think happened to sergio?
in the end. i loved the film very much. no complaints but i'm just curious.
shareAs Beckett said: "I can't go on - I'll go on".
There are plenty of people like Sergio still hanging out in Vedado. On the other hand Edmundo Desnoes who wrote the book on which the film is based finally defected and went to live in New York in 1979.
"I don’t like the term torture. I prefer to call it nastiness."
Donald Rumsfeld
Well as much as I know, in real life Sergio Corrieri (Sergio) also defected many years ago, went to Venezuela and worked in Tv novels a couple of years more or less and then made it to the States. In the movie you can imagine everything you wish.
shareHe makes the night dance with poetry.
ahhhh!
This movie, a tonic for the soul kind of great film.
But according to this he died in Havana in 2006: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0180959/
and according to Wikipedia he apparently never defected: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Corrieri
According to this Desnoes never really defected:

He says he went to live in New York without siding with the opposition or the Cuban government.
He went back to Cuba invited as a member of the jury for a Casa de las Americas prize in 2001.
I infer he went back to New York. He says he is a US citizen.
Strange fellow in this world of partialities.
I am also surprised at the travelling from and back between New York and Cuba of the young director of “Red Cockroaches” Miguel Coyula.
