TOCANDO LA LUZ (TOUCH THE LIGHT)

72 min

NYC PREMIERE Havana, Cuba. An up-and-coming singer searches for confidence, a young woman in love longs for motherhood and a veteran of the Revolution comes to terms with the death of her husband. Three women, united by blindness and a desire for independence, guide us through Cuba’s current economic and social landscape while pursuing their dreams and breaking through personal and societal limitations.

This screening is co-presented by Cinema Tropical and New York Women in Film and Television.

This film is proceeded by THE 100 YEARS SHOW.
