A Street Named Cuba

In Old Havana, Cuba Street brings together the lives of four women who embody the resilience and fragility of an island in crisis. Anabel, a young actress, struggles between continuing her career in Cuba or emigrating to Europe to work as a cleaner. Dayana, 30, dreams of traveling to Russia and transforming herself physically to become the woman she has always felt she is. Mailén, a mother of 3, carries the scars of childhood and a relationship marked by violence, while fighting to support her family with optimism. Elvira, 74, survives scarcity while caring for her ill husband.
