Alberto has endured political imprisonment for writings unacceptable to the Castro regime in Cuba. His nocturnal wanderings in Havana lead him from a colonial cafe, where he begins an intense romance with a young woman, to an unforeseen trip on a raft across the Straits of Florida as he flees the Castro regime. Accompanied by his lover, he becomes part of the exile community in Miami where he is lost without a compass, struggling to create a way of life that will help him deal with pain of exile. Translated from Spanish.
