DESCRIPTION
Amadeo, an author suffering from writer's block, just came back to Havana after sixteen years in Madrid. In the evening he is meeting on a terrace with a view on the famous Malecón promenade with his friends: Tania, the eye-doctor who can barely get by; Rafa, the alcoholic; Aldo, the engineer who is disappointed with life; and Eddy, the literature-loving upstart. From dusk till dawn they talk, have fun, laugh, and dance. They go down memory lane back to their youth, the groups they were in, the faith they had in the future, and they talk about how far their dreams were from reality.
