Synopsis
For filmmaker Armando Capó, the southeastern Cuban town of Gibara is a place of ghosts, haunted by his lost youth, a bustling past that cannot be recovered — and the skeleton of a whale. THE LAND OF THE WHALE is a beautiful meditation on craft, beauty, aging, the transmission of knowledge, and what it means to be an artist.
