Nestled above a dilapidated district of Havana, hides a secret village, sheltered from the hubbub of the streets it overlooks. These makeshift houses are inhabited by Roberto, Lala, Tita, Arturo, Juan, José, Reynol, Leonardo, Alejandro, Diosbel, Katiuska, Gabriel, Jean and Maria. Like many other inhabitants of central Havana, they were forced to take refuge in the heights in the face of the chronic shortage of housing. From their perch perched at the top of the city, they testify to a society in full historical transformation after 60 years of a government of the revolution.
