FILM SYNOPSIS

Havana, 1994. At the height of the privations of Cuba’s ‘special period’, Candelaria and Victor Hugo are more focused on finding enough to eat and preserving their one remaining lightbulb than they are on each other. Although well into their seventies, the couple still toil every day for a pittance; Victor Hugo in a cigar factory, Candelaria in a hotel laundry and singing mournful laments in a jazz bar by night. Their lives change unexpectedly, and somewhat improbably, when Candelaria finds a video camera caught up in the bedclothes from one of the hotel rooms.

Two pensioners, a video camera and an indecent proposal!
