THE FUTURE OF AN ILLUSION

POLISH TITLE: PRZYSZŁOŚĆ ZŁUDZEŃ

"The future of an illusion" is a poetic portrait of an old street of Havana called "The future street". On New Year's Day, seven characters wish for something to happen which might change their lives.

A documentary film at the border of a fiction narrative searching towards Latinamerican magic realism. It's not another political film about Cuba, but a film about the essence of humanity.
