Our House in Havana
Cuban history, memories and lingering class divisions come into sharp focus when Silvia Morini, after nearly 40 years in the United States, sets out to revisit the palatial home of her youth in Havana, Cuba. Accompanied by her son Guillermo, who was nine years old when the family fled Castro's revolution, Silvia finds the once-famous, ornate mansion still standing, but now converted into a government foreign exchange bank. The vivacious 68-year-old Silvia's nostalgia for an aristocratic, pre-Castro world inevitably rubs up against contemporary Cuban realities. This intimate, tragi-comic journey through pre and post-revolutionary Cuba breaks through deep-seated barriers to reveal a refreshing glimmer of hope.
