Synopsis
Although Tabío's latest film is a seemingly simple comedy about the power and allure of money, it offers a profound meditation on the socio-economic difficulties facing Cuba today. In Horn of Plenty, the country's isolation, bureaucracy, poverty and enduring class discrepancies are all illuminated in a Tabio-style sexy romp through the Cuban interior.  When news of an inheritance for members of the Castiñeiras family reaches the small town of Yamaguey, the community is thrown into chaos. Bernardito (a wonderfully droll performance by Tabío -acclaimed Strawberry and Chocolate's Jorge Perugorría) is at first skeptical, but after accessing the Internet and discovering that the story of the unexpected legacy has made headlines around the world, he begins to believe it could be true.

In the 18th century a group of Castiñeiras nuns deposited treasure in a British bank.  Because of accumulating interest,  millions of euros are due each family. Buoyed by the promise of wealth, Castiñeiras descendents from all around Cuba begin banding together to try to prove their eligibility.  But with two different Castiñeiras family lines, the unpredictable twists and turns of the wonderfully-crafted script further confirms the continuing vitality of Cuban filmmaking despite looming political change.
