Irina Pino’s Diary

A city’s nature changes, it isn’t static, it reacts to external phenomena, if we can call it that. This is what is happening in Havana of late

It’s a mystery how certain people can influence lives. They weave themselves into peoples’ stories, leaving a never-ending legacy.

It became so popular that you had to get there two hours in advance in order to get in on the weekend, because it opened its doors at 9 PM.

One good thing that’s come out of this is that you no longer see cans or plastic bottles on the street, they are all collected to be recycled

My friends & I were thirsty for culture, & we were always busy soaking it all in, going to theaters, museums, galleries, the National Library

I’ve recently read articles where actresses talk about aging, and how it is to land roles in film & TV productions after turning 50 years old

Cuentos de un día mas (Tales of one more day), is a feature film related to the pandemic and its effects on Cuban families.

I’ll have a light dinner, watch a movie, & light a candle to ask for health & harmony. At 12, I’ll throw a bucket of water from the balcony.
