The Last Match (2013)

In a realm where marginality is the norm and young gays are outcasts, the vibrant streets of Havana, Cuba, serve as the backdrop for an unconventional love story. "The Last Match" is an enthralling tale of two boys, Reinier and Yosvani, both ensnared in a gritty battle for survival and an insatiable desire for love. Reinier, a handsome teen hustling on the harsh pavements of Havana, finds solace in the dusty soccer fields of his slum neighborhood. Amidst the struggle to provide for his baby, young wife, and her ailing grandmother, Reinier is consumed by his relentless quest for fortune, which persistently eludes him. Despite his circumstances, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to Yosvani, a fellow soccer player from the slums. Yosvani, in contrast, is cloaked in a façade of wealth, thanks to his older girlfriend who showers him with a lavish city life. In return, he works for her father, a ruthless loan shark, embroiled in the shady world of debt recovery. Yet, beneath the opulence, Yosvani yearns for something more, something pure - a love he discovers in Reinier. The allure of this newfound emotion is so strong that he's willing to relinquish his comfortable life. In a city where baseball is a religion but soccer offers a glimmer of escape, the pair find themselves in a dangerous dance with destiny. As they strive to maintain their clandestine relationship amidst the reckless streets of Havana, they're faced with the daunting challenge of reconciling their love with their harsh realities. The boys must fight with everything they have to protect their love - a love as intense as it is forbidden, a love as fragile as it is rebellious, a love that serves as their last match in the game of life.

The Last Match is a drama movie featuring Milton García and directed by Antonio Hens.
