The new episode of Vivir del Cuento portrays the “Odyssey” experienced by thousands of Cubans willing to obtain Spanish citizenship in order to leave the island.
This Monday, the popular Cuban comedy show Vivir del Cuento premiered its third episode of the season, titled Odisea 2024.
In this episode, the characters Pánfilo, Chequera and Isidoro embark on a comic mission to help their neighbor Voltímetro obtain Spanish citizenship. The episode offers a satire on the difficulties and absurdities faced by those who try to carry out immigration procedures.
From the beginning, Pánfilo is skeptical about Voltímetro’s supposed Spanish ancestry. Despite his doubts, he decides to help him. Voltímetro, determined to prove his Basque origins, exaggerates a Spanish accent and shows photos of supposed cousins who look nothing like him.
From there, the group begins a frantic search for documents, including birth and death certificates.
The episode reaches its most comical point when they discover that the most important document, the marriage certificate of Voltmeter’s grandfather, has been lost. The only hope of recovering it lies with an aunt who is over 90 years old, whose memory is as unstable as the situation itself.
The humor of Odisea 2024 is based on the combination of desperation and creativity of the characters. Despite numerous obstacles, the group remains optimistic and never loses the ability to laugh at difficulties.
Humor with social criticism
This episode not only reflects one of the most common aspects of current Cuban reality, always with a touch of humor, but also follows the Vivir del Cuento tradition of addressing contemporary issues with a critical and comical eye.
Odisea 2024 is the third episode of the season, after El hombre invisible and Simultaneous Chess. Each episode has maintained the high level of humor and creativity that characterizes the program, reaffirming its popularity among the Cuban public.
Living off the Story is a benchmark in Cuban television, using humor to reflect and criticize the daily reality of the island. The series continues to be a space where comedy becomes a mirror of society, allowing viewers to laugh at their own challenges and absurdities.
