| Summary: | Verzio FF Submission
The documentary follows a Cuban immigrant for six years, from his arrival in Barcelona until he settles down in his new city. At the age of forty-two - and having thought about it all his life - he decided to abandon the island and settled in Barcelona. Ricardo Muro wants to be master of his own destiny and dreams of traveling. His story is the main thread that allows the stories of other Cubans to be understood: a Cuban ‘santera’ who comes in search of her grandchildren, a baseball player who trains on the courts of Barcelona, a professional dancer who used his talent to get out of the country or a radio announcer who came here for love. The documentary is a collective portrait of Cubans in Barcelona. |
