In December 2013 I went to Cuba for 10 days to show my films at the Havana Film Festival. I did not intend to shoot a film about Cuba- but I fell in love with the people, music, and nature of this beautiful island. I turned my video camera on the subjects which passed in my view and then made this edit. The scenes were shot in Havana, in Las Terrazas, and in the Orchid Garden in Soroa. - to Cuba with affection!
