The film uses, almost exclusively, unfinished materials by the Granada-born filmmaker José Val del Omar (1904-1982). This is a free approach to the missing link with which Val del Omar intended to culminate his work, made up of what he described as abstract documentaries, cinematographies or elementals. The elemental is a resoundingly poetic declension of the documentary. After the elementals of water (Granada), fire (Castile) and earth (Galicia) that make up his Elemental Triptych of Spain, Val del Omar intended to add a fourth film as the vertex and vortex of his entire oeuvre. New images of Granada - the counterpoint of the Arabic-Andalusian culture that Val del Omar felt in his veins with the hurried gaze of the tourist hordes (wandering between the closed paradise of the Alhambra and the open gardens of the Generalife) - give way to the dynamic ecstasy, progressively abstract and full of images, of a time without a clock, without space, without feet or ground?

Women who did not accept the established order. Women who participated in the creation of a fairer, more equitable world, building the world of hope we are heirs. Women whose spirits were forged by the oppression and yet took the floor. What they proclaimed has value not only for the past but for the present and the future because it represents the voice of millions of women who came together, unite and continue joining this struggle. They were not content to look, to let do or let pass; but they engaged in their daily work against injustice, misery, poverty, inequity and lack of equality. Women who have fought tirelessly for economic, social, legal and civil equality for all. Because the personal is political. So they lived so and that is why they fought participating in the construction of the Second Spanish Republic, the most democratic period of Spanish past history.

The director Christian Liffers travels with his team to Cuba to search for evidence. Part of his luggage are poems and prose texts of the Cuban author Reinaldo Arenas. Texts, which describe the desire for love, sexual freedom and the proud and unbending attitude in the fight against discrimination. Are these desires and attitudes still to be found in Cuba? And which desires, clichés, and projections of Cuba attract the producer and many more people? Poems and prose texts are the reference points for the protagonists and their personal stories of present-day Cuba, which are always the center of attention. Six men with different backgrounds and of different ages describe their life, afflictions, desires, longings and joys in Cuba. They have some things in common: homosexuality (with the exception of Isabel, the transsexual) and the daily social exclusion on the part of the Cuban "Machismo-society" and the Cuban government.

However, accurate localization is only a reference element, to analyze and discover, in a scientific and poetic way, global mechanisms present in the life of every community. Or something so trivial and complex at once as what makes it possible that every time I push a switch the light turns on?

Two of my favorite films, A Movie by Bruce Conner and Fireworks by Kenneth Anger, include Respighi's “Pini di Roma” in their soundtrack, contrasting the epic of the music with the hilarious images. In the tradition of my favorite filmmakers, this is a film in the glory of the super-8 splendor, with some of the tricks and effects preferred by amateur filmmakers when playing with the camera.
