In Cuba, sixty years after the Revolution, two teenage brothers live their own dystopian universe. United by an intimate and unique emotional bond, they incessantly draw up a detailed fiction that blurs the boundaries between their fantasies, Cuban history, and the memories they inherited from their father, a veteran of the war in Angola. With him, the boys live in a small house, in living conditions that offer little material for their fertile imagination. Drifted from their childhoods, the motivation behind the disturbingly believable show goes beyond a simple search for fun and leads to an escape from the harsh reality.
