In order to charm them more, they take them to all the good corners of the capital. Follows an almost exhaustive listening of all the small groups of the city.
Or flee to the United States
Meanwhile, Caridad, wife of Ruy and mother of their two children, trims to ensure the household income. Their couple is almost no longer, she has to give up her position at the university to find a better paid job ... she too would like to leave. But it's not a dream, rather a resignation. His destination: Miami, to join his mother. Only, the trip, clandestine, is dangerous ...
Escape through music
This film looks at two angles: first of Cuban youth who, without ever rejecting the beauties of his island, wants to get away with everything. Then, that of the local rhythms and colors. Blues, rock and jazz especially, but also heavy-metal, rap and punk ... all his music is accommodated in Latin sauce. Without leaning toward the musical, the film is a real treat for the ears music lovers.
