Cuban film 'The wisper of the leaves'
Havana, June 7 (RHC)-- The Cuban film ‘El susurro de las hojas’, by filmmaker Amir Aether Valen, represents the country at Sheffield DocFest, in the United Kingdom.
The film by this graduate from the International School of Film and Television of San Antonio de los Baños, develops in a Cuban rural area. It deals with loneliness, the acceptance of death and the human spirit. The Whisper of the Leaves is a careful and tender meditation on the interconnectivity between the human spirit and other forms of life.
