PARA VIVIR: THE IMPLACABLE TIMES OF PABLO MILANÉS

As beloved Cuban singer Pablo Milanés faces the end of life, his son seeks to uncover the story behind the voice that defined a generation. PARA VIVIR traces how his music came to embody the hopes and struggles of a transformative era in Cuba and Latin America. More than a biography, the film unfolds as an intimate dialogue between father and son—exploring love, legacy, and identity.

PARA VIVIR: EL IMPLACABLE TIEMPO DE PABLO MILANÉS

Mientras el querido cantante cubano Pablo Milanés se enfrenta al final de su vida, su hijo busca desvelar la historia detrás de la voz que definió a una generación. *Para vivir* recorre el camino por el cual su música llegó a encarnar las esperanzas y las luchas de una época transformadora en Cuba y América Latina. Más que una biografía, la película se despliega como un diálogo íntimo entre padre e hijo, explorando el amor, el legado y la identidad.
