“Appearing to be an advertisement for a cigarette factory, this orphan film conceals a utopian project that goes beyond the scope of its original purpose: shot in the Dominican Republic, it consists of illustrations depicting the colonial process, a book of poems by a Dominican writer, the fields of the Cibao region, a man and a woman multiplied by mirrors and smoking, credits that point toward a voice-over narration and songs we never hear, as well as a whole array of film material, perforations, scratches, and secret messages that bind these traces together." - Diego Cepeda
