In 1962, shortly after Fidel Castro's Revolution in Cuba, Sérgio, a 38-year-old middle-class man, saw his wife and friends flee the island and communism. He didn’t want to leave, not because he was a revolutionary, but out of curiosity of what was going to happen. As the regime advances, he wanders through the streets of Havana and watches his fellow countrymen. A masterpiece by master Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, the film is considered to be one of the most important works of Latin American cinema and the main Cuban cinema record of its socialist revolution. Screening of a restored copy.
