Through several characters, and with a humorous style, AC/E produces 3 short films in comic format directed by Juan Padrón, with a script by Juan Padrón and Miguel Barroso, on the occasion of the celebration of 500 years of Havana. A journey through funny moments, nothing solemn, of the history of the city, from its foundation to the present. These include themes such as architecture, the design of the walls and fortresses, pirate attacks and the invasion of the English, the shipyards where the Holy Trinity came from, or the influence of La Fleet on the entire life of the city with a marine culture that has been left in the talk of Havanans.
