What entertains children and allows them to dream in a small Cuban town? A roller skating coach from San Pablo de Yao, a small town in the Sierra Maestra, Cuba, leaves his house in his daily routine, crosses the river, and teaches skating classes. He returns home, carrying all the love of the city of San Pablo de Yao. However, his work is fraught with conflicts that mark his work and the children's education. The streets of San Pablo de Yao allow this sport to exist in the city, but the river poses a threat during periods of constant rain, causing training to be suspended for several days, either because it prevents Chepe from crossing the river and reaching the town, or because the streets are wet.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
