Innocence

Cuba, November 1871. First-year students at Havana’s Medical School are imprisoned on unjust charges, but only eight of them will suffer an unexpected outcome. For sixteen years Fermín Valdés Domínguez, a friend and a cellmate of the victims, has struggled to prove the innocence of those young people. Now a new clue has led him very close to discovering the key that can unravel the hidden truth. The film reveals Valdés Domínguez’s tireless inquiry and the shocking events that led to the most dramatic and painful events in 19th-century Havana. (Seminci - Valladolid International Film Festival)
