Havanna mi amor

Telenovelas are wildly popular in Cuba, not merely due to the love and passion that characterise Latin-American serial dramas, but also owing to the fact that they offer a form of escapism from the struggles of life. This documentary film follows the lives of everyday men and women, whose lives would appear to be inseparable from the much-beloved soap opera episodes the islanders are so fond of submerging themselves in.
