Film still from Para vivir: El tiempo implacable de Pablo Milanés, directed by Fabien Pisani (Mexico, Spain, USA, 2025).

This portrait of Pablo Milanés, an essential voice of the Cuban Nueva Trova, is also an intimate dialogue between father and son, and a beautiful reckoning with the past. Filming begins on a summer morning in Madrid when the artist, already quite ill, calmly senses that the film will be a posthumous tribute. From there, the narrative moves between the fragility of an inevitable farewell and the greatness of a musical journey bound to the hopes and disenchantment of a generation that dreamed of changing the world. Navigating unconditional love, the emancipatory promise of the revolution, and the contradictions of a turbulent era, the film transforms the pain of loss into a bridge for intergenerational connection.

Film will be screened in its original version with subtitles in Spanish.

A film in the 2026 edition of the In-Edit International Music Documentary Film Festival.
