Synopsis
In 1961, in the early days of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro asked three young, cutting-edge architects to design and build the Cuban National Arts Schools on what had been a country club golf course in Havana, Cuba. Construction of their radical designs began immediately and the school's first classes soon followed. Before the buildings were complete, the Revolution became Sovietized, and suddenly the project was denounced as counter-revolutionary and construction abruptly halted. Forty years later the schools are in use, but remain unfinished and decaying. Castro has invited the exiled architects, now in their 80s, back to finish their unrealized Utopian dream.
