Cuba on ice. Naturally it is served in cocktails at the beach bar.
But for the islands residents, keeping things in a cold, solid state
is a matter of survival and constitutes a daily struggle.
Refrigerators are passed down from one generation to another,
caringly maintained and restored.
They form the centre of the household
and confront their owners  with the energy woes
of a land that finds itself isolated at the end of the Cold War,
no longer able to trade sugar for oil:
Ice is civilization.
