Synopsis

In the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Sergio, an affluent writer, chooses to stay behind in Cuba while his wife and family escape to neighbouring Miami. He is pessimistic about the revolution's promise to bring sweeping change to his country, and squanders his days prowling the streets of Havana looking for female companionship. Trouble erupts when Sergio's fling with the chaste Elena nearly ruins him after her family accuses him of rape.
