CIRCUNSTANCIA
To the Cuban people, the horizon line can be friend, family or foe--but it is always present. 'Circunstancia' is a documentary short inspired by the recurrent theme of insularity in Cuban art and poetry. It explores the complex dualities that exist living in a country where the ocean is a constant reminder of the political, symbolic and geographic isolation of its people -- for better or for worse.
