Synopsis
The 90s. The world changing and Cuba is sinking between blockades, hunger, tobacco and rum. In this landscape, the lives of Candelaria (64) and Víctor Hugo (63), a couple who are still together as if by inertia, turn around when a hi8 video camera is found in a hotel. With this foreign object, both return to look, touch and love each other. Happiness, which arrives unexpectedly, is only the sweet beginning of the end. A tragicomedy to the rhythm of the Cuban son.
