Canadian premiere
Filmmaker Daniela Muñoz Barroso, who has lost most of her hearing, travels to Santiago de Cuba to discover the identity of Mafifa, a female bell player in a Cuban congo who passed away 40 years ago. Barroso’s quest leads her to a trailblazing musician and an extraordinary woman who had a profound impact on those who knew her. The more Barroso uncovers, the more Mafifa’s story mirrors her journey.

“upon leaving, we will discover that we have been dreaming with our eyes open and that the dreams of reason are atrocious.
Perhaps then, we’ll begin dreaming with our eyes closed again.”
