...home--where artists sell often fine work for low prices. Small oil paintings of Santeria saints go for as little as $25, while some serious larger paintings cost $150 to $300. That's cash. No U.S. credit cards or traveler's checks are accepted in Cuba. Private art galleries disappear overnight, as do the famed paladares (private dining rooms, often in Cuban homes).

By the end of the film, Michel and his family have everything they ever wanted and some boons they never imagined...
...that their country was an economic mess. Yes, he pledged to clean it up?by getting rid of bad bank loans, privatizing government-run behemoths like the postal service and killing useless public-works projects. But he also warned that it would hurt at first: salaries would shrink, jobs disappear. Now, he's retelling that tale of gloom on the eve of the July 29 election to the upper house of parliament. His Liberal Democratic Party needs to retain a majority of seats for Koizumi to remain in office. But unlike his predecessors?Japan has had nine Prime Ministers...
