Following the frenetic pace of the city, the three "Paulista" characters will experience the euphoria of passion and its downside.

Frenemies is a full-length documentary that tells the story of the close yet conflicted relations between the United States and Cuba from the 1950s to the present. How much longer can this small Caribbean island survive the longest embargo in history? Frenemies snatched the Audience Award at its premiere at the Dunedin International Film Festival, won the Social Impact Award at the Latino & Native American Film Festival and the Award of Excellence at the Docs Without Borders Film Festival. Frenemies’ appeal comes from how it creatively weaves lively discussions of politics and history with Cuban music, art, culture and views of urban and rural scenery.
