This classic Cuban film observes the protagonist Sergio (Sergio Corrieri) through
his life following the departure of his wife, parents, and friends in the wake of the Bay of Pigs incident. Alone in a brave new world, Sergio observes the constant threat of foreign invasion while chasing young women all over Havana before finally meeting Elena (Daisy Granados), a young girl he seeks to mold into the image of his ex-wife, but at what cost to himself?
