Cuba. Fidel Castro's dream is over : now it is every man for himself. Nevertheless, there remains a kind of warm solidarity, spiced by a type of black humour which has become typically Cuban. Cuba 111 is the name of a house in Cuba Street, Havana. It used to be a mansion with a store, but now it's run-down. Forty families live in this solar : a five floor apartment building opening onto a large yard.

Cuba. Fidel Castro's dream is over: now it is every man for himself. Nevertheless, there remains a kind of warm solidarity, spiced by a type of black humour which has become typically Cuban. Cuba 111 is the name of a house in Cuba Street, Havana. It used to be a mansion with a store, but now it's run-down. Forty families live in this solar : a five floor apartment building opening onto a large yard. The electrical cables are hanging everywhere, the railings falling apart, the floors breaking up. The hot humid atmosphere is suffocating. The noise of this hive is unbearable people live in all kinds of small enclosures made of anything. Cuba 111 draws the portrait of ordinary people living in this famous solar. Their dreams, their sorrows, their fiestas and their cynicism.
