The seven days, segments and directors are Monday (El Yuma, Benicio del Toro; Yuma is Cuban slang for "American" or "gringo"), Tuesday (Jam Session, Pablo Trapero), Wednesday (The Temptation of Cecilia, Julio Medem), Thursday (Diary of a Beginner, Elia Suleiman), Friday (Ritual, Gaspar Noe), Saturday (Dulce Amargo, Juan Carlos Tabío), Sunday (The Fountain, Laurent Cantet).
As in any many-director movie the final product is somewhat uneven, but all segments contribute to an atmospheric picture of modern Cuba and of its problems (e. g. the temptation to leave in search of a seemingly better future and the consequences). Tabío's segment is the most moving (with the always excellent Jorge Perugorría and an excellent cast) and, as expected, Suleiman's contribution is whimsical and humorous. All segments are worth watching.
