00:00 My name is Marta Rivera Gonzales, I have been living in Jaimanitas since 1978.
00:07 Where are you from?
00:11 I am from Havana, from Arriba Polo, from Palma.
00:17 I know you, you are working in many places.
00:26 I am from the coffee shop, my name is Jaimanitas, Terminales, and I am retired.
00:32 And now you are retired.
00:34 I am retired.
00:35 And how much is your salary?
00:37 1528
00:39 1528, that is hard, that is not enough.
00:41 Not at all, you have to be inventing.
00:44 Not at all, it is hard. And how are you solving life with such a hard economy?
00:49 Well, doing work and hunger too.
00:53 So, we were talking, how much did you get to the warehouse? 2 pounds of brown sugar?
00:57 2 pounds of brown sugar, 1 pound of white sugar,
00:59 Yes, 3 pounds of rice.
01:03 3 pounds of rice.
01:04 And then, you were telling me about the brown sugar, that you like it more than the white sugar, for the sugar water at night.
01:11 No, I don't drink sugar at night because it is a bad thing.
01:15 I am 73 years old, I work in many places, in different international events, mainly in the convention center.
01:25 I live in C24003, between 240 and 242, Jaimanitas.
01:33 I live in bad conditions.
01:42 My house is getting wet, the walls are broken.
01:46 I can't afford to buy cement because it costs 3,000 pesos.
01:51 I have worked all my life.
01:53 I worked as a contract worker with a jubilee in the school Rubén Martínez Viviana, in Custodio.
02:01 I previously worked selling newspapers.
02:05 At the end of my life, I have nothing.
02:08 Because a jubilee is worth nothing.
02:12 Here we are in Martica's house.
02:15 Look how Marta lives.
02:20 Look.
02:23 The terrible conditions of Marta's house.
02:33 Here she lives alone with her dog.
02:37 Look at the dog.
02:39 Marta, a jubilee who lives alone like you, the situation is dramatic.
03:06 My 528 pesos is not enough for anything.
03:09 The neighbor helps me.
03:15 She gives me some spaghetti.
03:18 The least I have is a refrigerator.
03:21 After a lifetime working for the state, you have to end your days in the tranquility of misery.
03:32 Marta's house.
03:35 Marta's house.
03:37 Marta's house.
