Against the backdrop of a decaying Cuba and in black and white, torn by Caribbean rain, the young Alex and Edith, the elderly Milagros, and the children Frank and Alain live their lives, marked by small daily gestures, stories of the past, and dreams of the future. In the context of San Antonio De Los Baños, where time seems to have stopped, their three separate narratives and worlds unfold. Amid a contemporary fresco brought to life through the characters’ memories, the specter of separation looms—an enduring plague of contemporary Cuban society.
