Among the Cuban films that I have seen lately, «La emboscada» has highly interesting dramatic elements contained in the screenplay by Ernesto Daranas and Ania Molina, from an original idea by Alejandro Gil. From the cinematic point of view it is a correct work, even discreet, in tone with the plot about three soldier that survive an ambush and are hiding to stay alive; although a bit of a "poetic flight" could have been welcome in the flashbacks, giving them a different visual treatment.
