    • Synopsis
    • MANDI (18) returns to Gibara, a small village by the sea in Eastern Cuba, dreaming to become a painter. The country is on the warpath and the local authorities see a threat in the young man’s work that mock the old political system inherited from the Cold War. Mandi tries to fight back, but the daily farse, kitsch, bureaucracy, and even his newly found early love suffocate him and push him ever farther from his dream; to change the world through art.
