MACHIMBRAO - The NEW MAN

Machimbrao - El Hombre Nuevo

I Am

Synopsis

In a barbershop in a Cuban town, male bodies sit down on the couch and interact. Between arrays of eyebrows with razor, discussions on the types of peeling, or the last game of football. These Cuban males will highlight the armor they created to follow fashion and foreign referents, without affecting certain notions of masculinity both in terms of their sexual choices, as well as their presentation and social relationships.
