Raudel works at a boat scrap yard in western Cuba. With his colleagues, he lives inside the jagged metal and the smoke of the oil when it burns. He talks about spirits, about stories that await him somewhere. In his eyes hope is opposed to that space where the line that separates the living from the dead is almost invisible.
