It’s a first for Cuba! An animated feature film with an unforgettable heroine, La Super, who empowers others to confront violence against women. Yudeisi, a young chemistry teacher, is committed to justice, and with the help of a female warrior spirit, she becomes a slightly hesitant superhero able to transform violent men by hypnotising them and clarifying their thoughts. An entertaining and uplifting film, despite its difficult subject. There has never been a superhero like La Super. Written by Hugo Rivalta. Premiered in the UK at Havana-Glasgow Film Festival in November 2023.
