Dawn breaks in La Habana, and as the day advances we follow the simple lives of ten ordinary Cubans, with only sounds and images accompanied by music.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The surprisingly watchable delight strikes universal chords.
It's all pleasant enough, but the pretty pictures, languid pacing, and endless stretches of mood music eventually combine to soporific effect.
