This story based on real events and set in sixties’ Cuba. The revolution has been won and two boys with seemingly nothing in common become friends. Pedro Juan is athletic and strong, and Fabián is skinny, nervous and short-sighted; he plays the piano, he’s gay, and his Spanish parents immigrated to the island in the twenties. Their unlikely friendship lasts the test of time and their lives once again cross in the future. Pedro Juan will have adopted a hedonistic lifestyle in which he enjoys sleeping with all sorts of women. Fabián has been arrested for homosexuality, and although he was able to avoid charges, the fear will start to eat him up and he will become more and more introverted. Both men end up in a meat-canning factory, working with other outcasts of the new society of the revolution, but their fates will turn out to be unavoidably different.
