For filmmaker Armando Capó, the southeastern Cuban town of Gibara is a place of ghosts, haunted by his lost youth, a bustling past that cannot be recovered — and the skeleton of a whale. THE LAND OF THE WHALE is a beautiful meditation on craft, beauty, aging, the transmission of knowledge, and what it means to be an artist.
A husband-and-wife team play detective, but not in the traditional sense. Instead, the happy duo helps others solve their existential issues, the kind that keep you up at night, wondering what it all means.
Starring: Jason Schwartzman, Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Naomi Watts, Isabelle Huppert, Mark Wahlberg, Jude Law
