Symphonic Episodes

Each day contains a set of rituals in which we all participate in; sometimes we are too blind to notice the beauty and meaning behind it all. The director creates a cinematic poem using images from Havana, Cuba to express the cycle of life and death and how the end of one leads to the beginning of another and the way it blends together. This is a very moving portrait of Havana that is significant to all people and cultures.
