Night falls as the Havana Fine Arts Museum closes its doors. If you listen carefully, you can hear the murmuring of the visitors as they make their way to the exits, leaving behind an echo that only the paintings can hear. Among the voices is that of a visitor with a singular walk, whose dialogue with the paintings projects his deepest fears.
