Synopsis

Cuba has always been known for its enchanting, mystical vibes. A New Yorker, Lazaro Acosta, and a San Franciscan, Zoe Rosenberg, find out first hand how enchanting the island can be.

A devotee of ancient religion of Ifa, known to many as "Santaria", Lazaro makes a promise to his fiancee and the river Goddess Oshun, that he won't stray with other women while studying music in Cuba.

In Havana, He becomes infatuated with his Godfather's granddaughter and gets caught in Oshun's web of honey. Lazaro learns the hardway that Oshun may be a river spirit, but she tests with fire.

Zoe travels to Havana on a political solidarity brigade, and falls in love with Renato, a Reggae singer and street hustler who lives off the kindness of foreigners. Renato's desire almost drives him into a little raft in a desperate attempt to float to Florida. Ultimately, Zoe and Ronato prove that love knows no boundaries.

CUBAMOR is a celebration of Afro-Cuban religion and music; a journey into the hearts of our protagonists, in search of love that transcends culture, economic embargo, and class.
