SYNOPSIS
In Cuba, night has fallen. Darkness swallows every crossroads, every house, every human being. Some say the “apagón” (blackout) is here to stay, like everything else on the island. In the night’s gloom, lit only by the glow of portable lamps, life carries on. A priest turns the pages of Genesis. A blind musician sings to his wife a song he wrote for her years ago. A boy challenges his teacher to an endless game of chess. A diver slips into the river with his lantern. Dreams, desires, and visions mingle with the sounds of nature, which, in the silence left by technology, returns stronger than ever. Slowly, reality fades away, giving way to imagination and the unconscious — an intimate, dreamlike experience.
