Adiós, Papi / Goodbye, Dad

Pastor Vega was a groundbreaking filmmaker and one of the most iconic advocates of Cuba’s film & cultural scene. After his passing, his eldest son —a filmmaker born & raised in a family of filmmakers, knew the right way (the only way) to honor the patriarch was to make a documentary. Fifteen years in the making, he discovered that procrastination was the way he had found to stretch the inevitable —saying goodbye. Finally finishing the film was heartbreaking and healing at the same time, as it meant saying goodbye to many things, not only to his dad (Papi). “Adiós, Papi” is a farewell to a dreamer, to a generation, to a country that no longer exists. It is also a tribute to a man who will be forever alive in the memory of his family and his friends, to whom he inspired with his passion and his spirit.
