Synopsis:
Set in the small Cuban town of San Antonio de los Baños, just outside Havana, "Vainilla Chip" tells the story of an ordinary day for an elderly ice cream maker, Javier Casanova. An ordinary day which, like all the other ordinary days, has become painfully pierced by an acute sense of longing for his deceased wife. This film is an intimate portrait of a hard-working man in a contemporary Cuba, far removed from clichés of the revolution and romanticised memories of Cuban music. "Vainilla Chip" brings the musicality of one ordinary man’s life to the forefront to reveal a universal struggle affecting many people across cultural and political divides.
