Liguster

Eternally identical detached houses are lined up next to each other, neatly marked out with privet hedges. A world made for families - consisting of father, mother and child, of course. He looks after the money, she looks after the children. And that's how it should always stay, please. Nothing changes in this beautiful order, even when Greta gives birth not to a human child, but to a vacuum cleaner. She is stunned, but everyone else is thrilled. It's so practical! And motherhood is, after all, the most important thing in a woman's life. Plus housework. She is expected to treat the appliance like a normal child. Greta tries to adapt, to play along, but the more she bends, the more she realizes the absurdity of her world, in which the norms are cemented to the point of suffocation and from which there is no way out.

Oceans Are the Real Continents

Alex and Edith, a young couple in their 30s, live their relationship made up of small gestures and everyday life among the ruins of Cuban buildings. Milagros, an elderly woman now retired, tries to survive by selling peanuts and spends her days listening to the radio and reading old letters. Frank and Alain, two nine-year-old friends, go to school and dream of emigrating together to the United States to become Major League Baseball players. Against the backdrop of San Antonio De Los Baños, a town in inland Cuba where time seems to stand still, these three narratives and their respective worlds unfold. Over this mosaic of contemporaneity, however, brought to life through the characters' memories, hovers the specter of separation, the true great scourge of Cuban society.

Cosmovision

As the celestial bodies slowly take on human form, with first uncertain movements finding assurance, a kind of reconnaissance mission begins, surveying a strange, unknown landscape. Their perplexed eyes scan a vast observatory lost in the middle of the mountains, a rundown and deserted space. The “meeting” that was supposed to take place now seems impossible, as well as any understanding of the events leading up to it. The buildings, facilities, and devices they discover–traces of intense human activity and signs of an attempt to surpass Earthen bounds–are nonetheless incomprehensible to the beings, offering no clue except for the disarming, enigmatic idea that the world might have been founded in its own image.
