Cuba, El Tren Frances
Cuba, El Tren Frances

DIRECTED by : Jean-Baptiste ERRECA
And what if to see the real Cuba, one had to ride this train which clanks along at 50 km/h over the 835 kilometers of the Santiago-Havana line?
In Cuba, the train is the best way to mix with the masses, people that tourists only glimpse through the windows of their air-conditioned tour buses without ever meeting them, without ever hearing their stories. This ride takes us deep into the heart of a country much more difficult to penetrate than it seems and thus avoid out-dated clichés.
Emmanuelle Han embarks aboard the mythic “Tren Francès” and lets herself be led from one end to the other along this legendary line, “the Pearl of the Caribbean”.

Argentina, El Gran Capitan

DIRECTED by : Jean-Baptiste ERRECA
Emmanuelle Han chose to travel across Argentina aboard El Gran Capitán, an illustrious train dear to the heart and soul of every Argentine. In this land of contrasts, this mythic train constructed by English pioneers in the 19th century carries passengers more than 1,000 kilometers… in 33 hours.
This iron monster snakes its way around the bends of the Sierras, the vast Pampas and town and villages with their gently fading colors.
A ride on El Gran Capitàn reveals all of Argentina’s complexities. We discover this promised land and its descendants as well as their multifaceted identities. A voyage to the borders of a country and its people, a journey along the frontier lands of Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil.

In the heart of these very remote lands, this train shows us a kaleidoscope of landscapes, ways of life and cultures.
