Here, everybody takes care of me
     (2007)


         Filmed and edited in Cuba

         The video shows a secretly filmed interview to the director of a cement company. This director suffers from schizophrenia disorders. Actually  these disorders allow him in turn to lead a form of management in which he simulates not to be aware of illicit activities. In reality, it becomes a kind of tacit agreement among all.
