Primas

Four young Cuban artists choose to stay in Cuba during what has now become the island's largest migration crisis. The One Who Stay is an intimate portrait of those who stay behind, lose loved ones, and shape the identity of a generation at risk of fading away.

With Antoine, filmmaker Laura Bari treats us to a sensitive portrait of a six-year-old boy, one like any other, except that he’s blind. We follow Antoine in his classes, playing with friends, skating, and visiting family. We accompany him on imaginary excursions as a detective, listen to him as a radio host, and sit shotgun as he drives his parents’ car. Antoine allows us access back into childhood since this isn’t a film about the struggles of a blind child but rather one about the real and imaginary world of childhood.
