Contents/Summary
- Summary
- “Our House in Havana” follows the emotionally charged return trip of Silvia Morini, a vivacious 68 year old Cuban, who after 38 years living in the U.S.A., decides to return to Cuba to search for the house she had in Havana, the neighborhood and the faded remains of her once-opulent, privileged life. The film catches Silvia's nostalgia for an aristocratic, pre-Castro world that inevitably rubs up against contemporary Cuban realities. Silvia's pilgrimage is full of discoveries, engaging interactions, and personal confrontations, which carry her from exhilaration to depression, and, ultimately, in a surprising twist, to an astounding personal transformation.
