When everything is for sale, what's the value of love? Jesus does makeup for a troupe of drag performers in Havana, but dreams of being a performer himself. When he finally gets his chance to be on stage, a stranger emerges from the crowd and punches him in the face. The stranger is his father Angel, a former boxer, who has been absent from his life for 15 years. As father and son clash over their opposing expectations of each other, VIVA becomes a love story as the men struggle to understand one another and become a family again. Winner of Best Cinematography at the **Irish Film and Television Awards** and nominated for Best Film at the 2016 **Syndey Film Festival**. *"VIVA features strong performances by its three leads, all of whom are fully committed to their roles."* - Gary M. Kramer, ***indieWire***
