One of the top Cuban actresses Daisy Granados has come back to the cinematic set under the direction of Enrique Álvarez, whose film La Ola (Wave) left critics shocked in previous editions of the International Latin American Cinema Festival.

But the woman that staged Cecilia by Humberto Solás, the same that brought Teresa to life on the screen - this movie was directed by Pastor Vega, spouse of the actress - or that played the restless leading character in Plaff directed by Juan Carlos Tabío, now can be seen under the skin of a legend woman, a classic of the universal scene; Mother Courage and her children.

In the year that marks the 50th anniversary of the German playwright Bertolt Brecht death, both Cuban Cinema and Daisy Granados pay special tribute to theoretician of the scene by releasing a work based on the novel the author wrote in his exile period of Nazism, 1941; in the middle of the Second World War.

Its a 70-minute-long movie starring Claudia Muñiz, Mario Guerra, Osvaldo Doimeadiós, Sergio Fernández and Ulises Peña, a co-production of ICRT-ICAIC-CMLK-EICTV- CNAE. Debuting on Nov 14 at Sala Charles Chaplin of the Cinemateque of Cuba, the screening gives room to other feature length films and documentaries that come to enrich the countrys filmography.

As shown at the time of staging in the theater Federico García Lorca's Yerma and José Ramón Brene's Camila, Daisy reaffirms to handle acting as a diva does by showing up a thousand faces of Eva.

Mother Courage won the prize granted by the Cuban Association of the Cinematographic Press, as well as the one of the recently closed CINEPLAZA 2006 and Caracol 2006 in the best Script category and Best Direction category.
