Black Shadow

Fidel, the only gravedigger in a small Cuban village, has made the cemetery into his home. He, a simple mortal, has the mission of burying all the dead of his village.

A nocturnal portrait of Havana and its inhabitants through the songs they listen to and sing.

On the side of the road, in a quaint Cuban town, stands a funeral home in which Maurilio and Fidela, partners in work as in life, have been preparing corpses for the past seventeen years. With quietly affectionate humour, María Salafranca takes us on an offbeat tour of this discreet establishment where death and love intertwine on a daily basis.
