City of Dreams

Caridad's story and her theatrical project are both powerful and moving. The idea of creating a play that explores the Cuban exodus through real testimonies offers a deeply impactful way to give voice to such intense and painful life experiences. By incorporating elements like music, dance, and creative staging in an industrial setting, she can generate an atmosphere that reflects both the suffering and the resilience-and even the humor-of the Cuban community. Her friends -Lázaro, Regla, and Fátima-add rich dimensions to the narrative. Each can represent different perspectives and experiences of exile, allowing the audience to connect more deeply with the reality of each story. The blend of emotions, from sadness to laughter, illustrates the complexity of the human experience, especially in contexts of dislocation. Caridad, as the creative force behind the play, aims not only to entertain but also to educate and foster empathy, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, there is always room for hope and humor. The film makes us reflect on the importance of individual testimonies and the power of representation.
