The film is a portrait of contemporary Cuba, consists of seven episodes, each 15 minutes will be a short day of week, with a common goal, to capture the sensitivities of the authors, the energy and vitality that make the 'Havana a unique city.
Far from the tourist vision, the film is intended to express the soul of the city, its neighborhoods, atmospheres, generations and cultures.
The seven stories have different themes each other, while retaining many points in common, thereby creating a single dramatic atmosphere. The location will be the most famous ed emblematiche dell'Havana, dall'hotel Nacional al malecon.
I registi impegnati nel progetto sono: Benicio del Toro, per la prima volta dietro la macchina da presa; Julio Medem, spagnolo; Pablo trapero, argentino; Juan Carlos Tabio, cubano, famoso per essere l'autore di Fragola e cioccolato; Laurent Cantet, francese; Elia Suileiman, palestinese; Gaspar Noè, argentino.
Per la realizzazione del film si sono dovuti affrontare molti problemi, non solo logistici, come nel caso di Benicio del Toro, che a causa dell'embargo statunitense potrà realizzare solo un documentario e non una fiction, per ovviare al pagamento imposto dalle autorità americane.
Il suo episodio dal titolo "El Yuma "(the alien ndt) will open the film. He started shooting first, last Friday in El Vedado. The episode will be an American tourist staying at the famous Hotel Nacional, which is" approached "by a taxi driver who accompanies a ride in "alternative" to the city, calling until dawn, for a show of transsexuals, and from there begins the "locura".
The film aims to show the city less known, the B-side of Havana, telling stories from different points, with a balance between an colorful language and a deeper, that is not just a "postcard" of Havana.
