The Good Demons (Spanish: Los buenos demonios) is a 2017 Cuban drama film directed by Gerardo Chijona. The screenplay, written by Daniel Díaz Torres, is based on the novel Algún demonio by Alejandro Hernández. It follows Tito, a 23 year old with a car and a secret. While his neighbors see him as a respectable, educated young man earning an income as a taxi driver, the reality is much more insidious. The film premiered at the 2017 International Festival of New Latin American Cinema in Havana.[1]
