El suspirante and Yoyo are films that marked a time, a style and a character. They were created by the many-sided (clown, magician, scriptwriter and illustrator) French actor and filmmaker Pierre Étaix. Étaix traveled to Cuba for the first time to the 16th French Film Festival in Cuba.
Winner of an Oscar to the best short film for Feliz cumpleaños in 1963, and another honorable one in 2011, Pierre Étaix is one of the most relevant French comedians in history.
