Overview

After the triumph of the Revolution, the construction of a new society reshapes the lives of a group of characters, forcing each of them to confront a transformed future. Luis, a young, poor Black man; Fernando, an exiled professor returning to his homeland; Rafael, a labor leader, and his daughter Niurka; and Ricardo, a young bourgeois who fought against the tyranny but now resists the loss of his former social status. Each will be pushed to extreme situations that compel them to redefine themselves in relation to the new meaning the Revolution has given to their lives.
