In rural Cuba, where tobacco farming is a centuries-old tradition, an American photographer named Carl has been documenting the lives of Cuban farmers for 15 years. With a keen eye and a passion for his subjects, Carl's black and white photographs beautifully capture a world on the brink of extinction. As he becomes more than just an observer, Carl forms lasting relationships with the farmers, including his local guide Juan, and learns about their unique stories and traditions. From a 98-year-old cowboy philosopher to a teenage girl with a talent for physics, the film showcases a cast of characters who share their wisdom, humor, and gratitude with Carl. But as Carl's relationships deepen, he must confront the question of whether he will ever bring his families together. Campesino is a heartwarming story about friendship, transformation, and the power of merging worlds.
