List Worthy Reasons…: Typically, I’m not a fan of the omnibus, but I consider myself a fan to various degrees of the seven attached names in this pack. The untouched utilized backdrop of Havana is such a rich and rarely shot locale and a seven day Monday to Sunday narrative stretch and conjoining storyline and characters means the bookends of the film will feel a lot more natural.

Release Date/Status?: 2012. A planned festival showing should be followed by a pick-up from indie label distributor.
