BARACOA

The fate of Felipe—an Italian revolutionary naturalized as a Cuban citizen—triggers an unexpected journey that leads his son, Pepe, and the doctor, Jimmi, to traverse the island as if passing through a dream. Amidst evocative landscapes, silences that speak, and surprising encounters, the road to remote Baracoa becomes a voyage of profound transformation.

BARACOA

El destino de Felipe, revolucionario italiano naturalizado cubano, desencadena un viaje inesperado que llevará a su hijo Pepe y al médico Jimmi a recorrer la isla como quien atraviesa un sueño. Entre paisajes evocativos, silencios que hablan y encuentros sorprendentes, el camino hacia la remota Baracoa se convierte en una travesía de profunda transformación.
