Radio technician Ricardo Martinez left his home and family in the 1950s to join Castro’s forces fighting to overthrow the Batista regime and remained committed to the revolution. His daughter Miriam, disillusioned by modern Cuba, abandons her homeland to begin anew in America. Frei trails Miriam as she takes leave of friends and family, capturing the poignancy of parting between a father and daughter who agree on nothing, yet love one another deeply. Later, the film conveys her dulled dismay at the cold consumerism of the land of bright lights and instant popcorn. Includes excellent archive footage of the Cuban revolution and Castro’s dictatorship, and candid interviews with both revolutionaries and Cubans broadcasting anti-Castro propaganda from Florida.
