[edit | edit source]Set in the Cuban community in Miami, the story revolves around the relationship between Nestor (Smits), a recently released political prisoner, his wife Isabel (Scacchi), who had fled Cuba after Nestor was imprisoned, and Sam (D'Onofrio), the fisherman who had rescued Isabel from almost certain death at sea.
