An emotional video posted on the Instagram profile @recadostienda has touched the hearts of thousands of Cubans both on the island and abroad, as it portrays the pain of families separated by the migration crisis.
In the images, several Cubans send messages to their loved ones living abroad. Some are addressed to children, partners, parents, and siblings who, like many, had to emigrate in search of a better future.
Each testimony reflects the nostalgia, love, and hope that keep alive the families torn apart in Cuba, separated by geographical distance, who, thanks to new technologies, are able to maintain communication.
Some speak through tears, others smile while recalling shared moments, but they all share a common feeling: the desire to embrace their loved ones again, especially during this dark and sad Christmas for Cubans.
The video has resonated deeply with users on social media, who have identified with the stories and shared their own messages in the comments.
