- Caballos talks about marginal characters, virtually none will assists. Scenarios decadent, full of the weariness and boredom are the days that we played in luck. This work aims to delve into the contradictions of a society: immobility, loss of illusion, the collapse of the Revolution program. Cuban Film productions in recent years have been characterized mostly by a formal and thematic lightness, seeking to establish a clearly visible manner 'here and now.' Underestimates the average viewer with narrative entertainment facility that most elementary aspire. Disbelieve the claims of aesthetic styles and trends to contemporary cinema. He denies that which is different from the canon and official discourse. We need an auteur cinema, lack the voice generational dialogue with oxygenated and art that does not represent us. There are few spaces that support the production of new filmmakers. Caballos tries to reflect from the provocation. Its greatest strength lies in the exploration of form and expression. The function of art will always be destabilizing, but with an artistic arsenal. I think this film could be a revealing document of our time. Only then will we know why a horse is a beautiful spectacle. Fabián Suárez
