El Yuma is a nickname given by Cubans to tourists (especially from the US) that can support their livelihood. This nickname is common in relation to sex tourism and marriages between local girls and foreign men. The film follows a young Ukrainian and his local suitors in a small town in Cuba. It examines the filmmaker’s position as a Yuma and the documentary practice as comparable with broader notions of exploitation.
