Ricardo Ávila

In 1979 Cuba, flamboyant gay artist Diego attempts to seduce straitlaced David, an idealistic young communist, and fails dismally. But David conspires to be "friends" with Diego so he can monitor the artist's subversive life for the state. As Diego and David discuss politics, individuality and personal expression in Castro's Cuba, a genuine friendship develops between the two.

Based on actual events, the film dramatizes the efforts of Cuban counterintelligence services in response to Operation Patty, a CIA plot to assassinate Raúl Castro.
