Oceans Are the Real Continents (Los océanos son los verdaderos continentes)

Italian-born director Tommaso Santambrogio opens a poignant new window into the allure, tragedy, hope, and human cost of exile from Cuba sixty-five years after the communist revolution.

Shot in elegant, highly stylized black and white and focused on the frozen-in-time Cuban town of San Antonio de los Baños, a series of stories unfold:

• Alex (Alexander Diego) and Edith (Edith Ibarra), young artists in love, perfect for each other—except, perhaps, in their plans for the future.

• An elderly peanut peddler (Milagros Llanes Martinez) revisiting the past through decades-old letters from her dead husband.

• A pair of little leaguers with New York Yankee dreams.

All face the specter of separation while navigating a world they did not create.
