A unique and intimate portrait of young Cuba. 

Habana Shakes takes us on a rhythm-filled odyssey spanning ten vibrant days in Havana, a pulsating island city teetering on the edge of transformation. Infused with a lyrical heart, this is not just an homage to Cuba's spirited culture but also provides an intimate window into the dynamic worlds of Cuban youth.   
Through the eyes of a skater, a tattoo artist, an actor, a ballerina and an electronica DJ  
we find ourselves asking: What aspirations do these young Cubans hold for their nation and future, and how might these differ from or echo the dreams and hopes of their parent’s generation? 

**A Short film will be screened before the feature film**
