synopsis
Josué is about to embark on a new chapter in his life. Together with his pregnant partner, he is preparing a room for their son and hanging photographs from the past on the walls – snippets of life from the family chronicle, to which they will soon add new chapters. Set against the backdrop of contemporary Cuba, a quiet social and relational drama centred on a young family on the threshold of an uncertain future unfolds in this delicate observation.“The Leap explores the fragility of memory and how we need it to navigate the uncertainties of the future.”
