Havana, from on High

Nestled above a decaying district of Havana is a secret village, hidden from the clamour of the streets below. Its residents, like many others, have been forced upwards by the chronic shortage of housing. In the elusive quest for happiness, they have developed survival tactics as clever as they are tenuous. These unique characters now bear witness to a society that is in the process of a major historical transformation after 60 years of revolutionary government. (Chicago Latino Film Festival)
