In Los sueños y los días en Cuba,Jimena Perzabal shares her parents' love story, her dreams and her life experiences while they were in Cuba from 1961 to 1967. “My dad met my mom in Havana, where their intense love began. All these memories intertwined in an endearing journey throughout the island,” says the director.

Perzabal Lozada said that Los sueños y los días en Cuba, her debut feature, is a “love letter” to her father and mother, who passed away in 2007.

In addition, before the screening, the short film Bajo la tierra, by Pablo Guillén was presented. Guillén said that the story was born because he was afraid of ghosts as a child, but as an adult, he became terrified of becoming one, of “the idea of being and not being”.

Bajo la tierra tells the story of an obsessed potter who, after losing her mother, goes to dangerous measures in her attempt to bury her pain in her work. A task that becomes increasingly difficult when her own house is swallowed up by the earth.
