Five years after the passing of the iconic filmmaker Humberto Solas, one of the founders of the New Latin American Cinema, partners, friends and family gather to evoke aspects of the life and work of Cuban artist of universal size.

A documentary about the 1968 film Lucía, featuring its director, Humberto Solás, and members of his cast and crew.

A 2009 Cuban drama by Rebeca Chávez taking place in Santiago de Cuba at the beginning of revolution. In the late 1950s, the city of Santiago de Cuba was afire, the site of some of the fiercest resistance to the murderous dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. The film's narrative unfolds over 24 hours in the lives of several youthful members of the underground as they confront their own uncertainty about the morality of armed struggle and the necessity of severing bonds that had seemed unbreakable.

Havana. Mother and daughter embark on a journey in an old Polski Fiat commonly known in Cuba as the “Polaquito”. The bond between Bertha and Margot does not prevent a family's and country's turbulence from arising. Immersed in conversation, the distance to an inevitable destination is shortened.

Director Humberto Solás, along with the leading ladies Raquel Revuelta, Eslinda Núñez and Adela Legrá, recall important moments of this classic of Latin American cinema, 'Lucía' (1968).
