Synopsis
Somewhere between hope and despair, a beautiful relationship triumphs and, despite the odds, two people discover the true meaning of love. Set against the volatile backdrop of modern-day Havana, Gustavo, an idealistic honor student, Cuba's "new man," and Yolanda, a realistic and beautiful young dancer, share little in common, especially their radically opposing political views. But despite their differences, they fall madly in love while the world as they know it crumbles before them. And as they witness the harsh realities that their families have chosen and must endure, they each make an irreversible decision.
