Product Description

Havana in the 1950's. Larita loves Elvis Presley, Ernest Hemingway and her rebellious friend Victor. However, Victor is more interested in the turbulent political situation in Cuba than Larita's likes and dreams. Hoping to study in the United States, Larita quickly discovers that her origins and poverty work against her. In spite of the obstacles, she is inspired by her own rich fantasy world, and Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea becomes her own story of striving for a better future.

Customer Reviews

Hello, beautiful movie!
A beautiful story with a reflective meaning that will make you weep and realize how blessed we are to have dreams and desires to be better and to always want the best, despite what's in our future. I enjoyed the magnificent performances and the photography; I highly recommend it to those that enjoy good films- not for nothing there's a copy of the DVD at my local library!
