First Second tells the story of two solitary figures - one aboard a never-stopping train, the other waiting endlessly at a forgotten desert station - whose worlds collide when the impossible happens: the train stops. In the wreckage of silence, they draw from one another the first moment of change, the first second of time that truly matters.

Impressionistic reflections on a man's life in the final moments before complete oblivion. Flashes of his love appear before him, but his deteriorating mind burns the final fragments, plunging him into golden dreams as his life washes away forever.
A film about the elements – hurricanes and rain, the sea and the earth. About a fishing port on the north coast of Cuba which has seen better days: Caibarién, where Hurricane Irma – one of the most powerful ever to sweep the Caribbean – made landfall on 9th September 2017.
About the effects of climate across the centuries in a Caribbean island sucked into global markets for its commodity crops – tobacco, coffee and above all, sugar. How sugar changed the landscape, through deforestation and soil exhaustion.
About the collapse of sugar and the encroachment of a new commodity market – tourism.
About the growing threat from climate change, and the move towards reforestation, ecotourism and sustainable farming.
