CASTRO AVELLEYRA, Anabella. Thinking about leaving or returning, in the heights of Havana. Analysis of the films Regreso a Ítaca (2014) and El techo (2016). Dixit [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.1, pp.18-32. Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1688-3497. https://doi.org/10.22235/d.v37i1.3247.
One character dreams of leaving and the other one thinks about returning. They are separated by age, life experience and their ability to inhabit the past or the future. They are united by migration, the insular destiny and a rooftop. This article intends to carry out an analysis of the films Regreso a Ítaca (Laurent Cantet, 2014) and El techo (Patricia Ramos, 2016) that contemplates how certain narrative, aesthetic and mise-en-scène aspects contribute to the configuration of imaginaries around migration and identity processes. To this aim, some theoretical reflections on issues such as social imaginaries, cinema and the transnational will be recovered, and the construction of characters and the configuration of chronotopes in the film text will be studied
