In March 2019, Patricia Ellen Gillespie and Alvaro Perez Abrahantes, both professors in a documentary program at NYU in Havana, first met to discuss a potential project. Initially, their meeting was purely professional, but as they shared ideas over a lengthy lunch, an undeniable spark emerged. Gillespie, an accomplished filmmaker, and Perez Abrahantes, a producer from Cuba, found themselves attracted to each other, recognizing their intellectual and spiritual connection. Despite trying to maintain professionalism, they couldn't ignore their feelings, marking the beginning of their relationship.
"It was March 2019, and both were professors at New York University's documentary program in Havana, Cuba. It wasn't like we locked eyes and got hit by electricity..."
"Mr. Perez Abrahantes had to restrain himself from kissing her. From that day, I knew I was crazy about her, he said."
"As time wound on, it became impossible to deny that there was a genuine connection, she said. An intellectual, spiritual connection."
