Oscar Winner Louis Gossett Jr. expands his repertoire of exceptional performances in the role of Luis, an elderly Cuban musician with dementia who is brought out of his shell by his care worker, Mina. Mina’s attempts to get through are futile until a poster of Benny More inspires her to hum a jazz tune that, to her surprise, ignites a spark inside him. As each day passes the music awakens Luis more and more until the colorful world of his past becomes vibrant and real again. Featuring the music of Grammy nominated, Afro-Cuban jazz virutoso Hilario Duran, THE CUBAN is a powerful heart-warming experience of music, friendship and imagination that highlights the humanity of some of the most vulnerable in our society and the light they are still capable of bringing those who care for them in their final days.
