ROSA AND THE EXECUTIONER OF THE FIEND
A film by: Iván Acosta (Author director of the play EL SUPER) Rosa, a Holocaust survivor, is an octogenarian widow who has lived alone for more than 50 years in an apartment across the United Nations. When an intruder gets hold of her place, she takes him for a thief, a rapist and then a Nazi agent. But he is none of that. His mission is "to execute the greatest S.O.B. the world has ever known". The drama that connects these two fictional characters is linked to five real episodes: the escape of thousand Jews from Germany aboard the St. Louis, in 1939; their arrival in Havana and their entrance denial; the indifference by the United States that send them back to Europe; the tragedy of the Cuban children who participated in the Pedro Pan Rescue Project, and a historical U.N. General Assembly of world leaders. Iván Acosta is the creator, producer and director of this film that will touch every one who cherishes the ideal of human rights and freedom. Graciela Lecube, Argentinean-born actress, recipient of the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors (HOLA) Life-Time Achievement Award, 2006, plays "Rosa." Gabriel Gorcés, noted Cuban American actor and stage director making his film debut, plays "Amaury," the intruder/executioner.

-------------------------------------- Rosa y el ajusticiador del canalla
Un film de: Iván Acosta Rosa, una sobreviviente del Holocausto, es una viuda octogenaria que ha vivido sola por más de cincuenta años, en un apartamento frente a las Naciones Unidas. Cuando un intruso se mete en su vivienda, ella lo toma por un ladrón, un agente Nazi o un violador. Pero él no es nada de eso. Su misión es "acabar con el desalmado más grande de todos los tiempos". El drama que conecta a estos dos personajes ficticios, se relaciona con cinco espisodios reales: la huída de Alemania de casi mil judíos a bordo del San Luis, en 1939, y su llegada a la Habana, donde les niegan la entrada, la indiferencia de los Estados Unidos que los obliga a retornar a Europa, la tragedia de los niños cubanos que participaron en el proyecto de rescate Pedro Pan y una histórica asamblea de los líderes del mundo en la O.N.U. Iván Acosta, es el creador, productor y director de este film que tocará a todo aquel que aprecia el ideal de los derechos humanos y la libertad. Graciela Lecube, actriz Argentina, merecedora del Life-Time Achievement Award otorgado por HOLA (Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors, 2006), interpreta a Rosa. Gabriel Gorcés, notable actor y director teatral cubano-americano, en su debut fílmico, interpreta a Amaury, el intruso/franco tirador.
Despues de la proyeccion de la pelicula, habrá una conversación con el director, Iván Acosta, el editor, Gustavo Bernal, y los actors, Graciela Lecube y Gabriel Gorces.
