Letters to Myself

About this title

On the 10th anniversary of her HIV diagnosis, poet Marina Vergueiro travels to Cuba to study cinema and discovers the story of Caridad, a woman who 20 years ago injected herself with HIV-infected blood when she discovered she was a lesbian and had no support from her family. Intrigued and curious by Cari's story and in order to understand her own traumas caused by the infection, Marina looks for her everywhere and, faced with the difficulty of finding her in a Cuba devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic, understands that the search is much more intimate than she initially thought.
