Guaguasi is a 1983 Dominican war comedy-drama film directed by Jorge Ulla. The film was selected as the Dominican entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 56th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
A story about a simple man from the mountains, Guaguasi, who falls in love with a beautiful chorus girl, Marina, during the Cuban Revolution. Guaguasi joins the rebels and arrives in Havana at the end of Batista's dictatorship, and, in the midst of political turmoil, is swept off his feet by the mesmerising Marina. The story celebrates the vitality and lunacy of the Revolution period with surrealism, humor and sensuality and is a compassionate metaphor about the human condition.
