- Sun is setting on Havana. Five friends are gathered to celebrate the return of Amadeo after 16 years of exile in Madrid.
- Amadeo, a novelist suffering from writer's block, is back in Havana after sixteen years of exile. This evening his friends are waiting for him on a terrace overlooking the Malecon Boulevard. There are Tania, who despite being an eye doctor only ekes out a living; Rafa, a once major artist who has become an alcoholic and only paints daubs now ; Aldo, an honest man who, although trained as an engineer is reduced to mounting batteries in a factory. They are joined after a time by Eddy, a literature lover turned parvenu... From dusk to dawn, they will laugh, sing, dance together, reminisce about their youth, the group they used to form, the faith they had in the future and exchange about their present disillusionment. At times they will even tear each other apart...—Guy Bellinger
- In Havana, the middle-aged friends Aldo, Rafa, Tanía and Eddy organize a reunion at Aldo's rooftop terrace to welcome Amadeo, who has just returned from Spain after a sixteen-year-self-exile. Aldo is a divorced engineer who lost his job in a downsizing and works repairing batteries. Rafa is a former alcoholic and smoker painter who lost his inspiration. Tania is an ophthalmologist that has no money, left her sons going to Miami with their father and lives with donations from her clients. Eddy is the only financially well-succeeded in the group since he used the new regime not necessarily in a legal way to make money. Amadeo was a writer of books and theater plays that left his wife Angela, who was sick with cancer, and exiled in Spain. In the beginning, their gathering is nostalgic with recollections of their youth. After some drinks and conversation, they begin to wash the dirty laundry of each one, culminating with the motives that Amadeo left his wife behind and stayed in Spain.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
