Tundra is a 2021 Cuban film directed by José Luis Aparicio. The film is about a lonely man dreaming of a mysterious woman who becomes his obsession. The film had its North American premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.[1][2]

Tundra was partly crowdfunded through the Spanish platform Verkami and, according to the producers, it also received the support of the Cuban community in exile and some international cinephiles.[3][4]
