Aging teacher defends problem children’s needs against school authorities
Alonso Ruiz Palacios’s Behaviour may seem to be about classroom deportment — whether student or teacher — but it casts more interesting light on how Cuba should be conducting itself in its current transitional period.When the elderly teacher Carmela becomes too engaged with the underprivileged students Yeni and Chala she runs athwart of the school authorities and is pressured to retire. When administrator Sonia suggests she has taught too long, Carmela asks whether she thinks the government has been in power too long. That would make the film seem reactionary, pro-Castro and opposed to change.
But there’s more to that picture. Yeni marks a classmate’s death by posting on the class bulletin board a Catholic card that he had given her. Sonia wants it removed because the government inspector would condemn the school for such a religious display. Carmela insists on leaving it till the girl is ready to remove it. She values the student’s emotional support over the government’s policy on religion. That suggests a change from tradition.
Sonia herself is presented as a woman of modern style, wealth, slickness, in short, perhaps a harbinger of the looming capitalism. Her values are efficiency and modernity, even if that disadvantages the school’s troubled charges. As she represents the incoming Cuba and Carmela the outgoing, then the film’s concern may be how to preserve the best of the old Cuba — its education, medicine, socialist ideals — while still admitting the new and progressive. Thus Carmela is supported by two former students now on staff, and a young black woman she trains to continue her values.
The film also mobilizes the feminine sensitivity against traditional machismo. Yeni insists Chala dissociate himself from his mother’s partner Ignazio’s dog-fight business. She encourages the feminine sensitivity he shows with his pigeons. As a corrective she assigns him Jack London’s White Fang. Carmela insists Ignazio accept responsibility for both Chala and his druggie mother, significantly reducing the man’s swagger.
As the school is obviously a microcosm of Cuba, Palacios is balancing social realism with some pointed reflections on how Cuba might preserve the best traditions and move away from the worst.
