SYNPOSIS
An intellectual leaves the Cuban revolution and 'underdevelopment' behind only to find himself at odds with the ambiguities of his new life in the 'developed' world. A character study of a loner with no clear-cut politics or ideology, struggling with age, desire, and the impossibility of belonging in any society.
The film's narrative is a collage of flashbacks, daydreams, and hallucinations comprising live-action, animation, and newsreel footage assembled to suggest the way personal memory works, subjectively and emotionally. Based on a novel by Edmundo Desnoes, author of the classic Memories of Underdevelopment.
