AvailableHavana has many ruins and some of the buildings are inhabited. The filmmakers discover beauty and poetry in the ruins through interviews with five residents of the ruins in various states of decay. One of the residents interviewed, Ponte, is a writer who explains his philosophy of the ruins to explain the gradual collapse of the city and Cuba’s political system. The film captures the final moments of these buildings before they are renovated or simply collapse altogether.
