Note of intent

I want to show a fresh vision of Cuba, to talk about Cuba and its citizen. That is why we are going to use a diegetic camera. A camera not operated by an external cameraman but by the character himself. Watching the images will be like watching through the eyes of our character. The camera communicates, it’s striking but also surprising. It talks to us in unsuspected languages: it also speaks the language of error, or of the supposed error. Then a new dimension opens up, and the good and the bad (the image, the frame, the focus) stop to oppose and can be used as a means of telling the story.

Synopsis

Behind closed doors, four Cuban policemen work on a case. They watch on a TV the videos on a camera found in open sea. The camera has passed from hand to hand and contains videos of the daily life of three Cuban citizens from different social classes. Antonio (55), a rich Cuban, decides before leaving the country to sell his camera to Yeny (26), a film student who wants to make a documentary about the Cuban marginal world. Yuma (25), a pickpocket, answers her call but ends up being the new owner of the camera. For him, the camera is more than a toy, but through it he discovers the zoom and the incredible power of documenting his surroundings in Centro Havana. This is the policemen’s first viewing of the material during the investigation. We see these videos but we are not able to see the cops, just the screen of your television. We listen as they judge and criticize harshly.
