London Latino Film Festival 2026
Sergio, a wealthy bourgeois intellectual, chooses to stay in Havana while his family flees to Miami after the Cuban Revolution. Unable to join the new socialist fervour or let go of his past, he wanders the city as a cynical, detached observer. Through his alienation, the film captures a complex psychological portrait of an individual caught in the gears of historical change.
