Sugar has always been a symbol of Cuba. Factories engaged in processing sugarcane gave most of the Cuban working people of the villages.

Marriage lives in a modest home with an eight-year daughter Monica and her paralyzed mother, moving in a wheelchair. Aldo is a teacher of swimming, but can not lead classes at a local pool because the water is missing. Monica is one of the few people still working in a sugar factory. Her work is based on their vision everyday machines. Their earnings are not sufficient to properly maintaining or additional expenses, such as a house that rented by the hour from a befriended couple.

The hero enters the water, plunging in her head so deep that the forehead touch the bottom. This symbolic baptism is the beginning of his new life.
The characters are trying to stay afloat, living between the ghosts of the past and the impossibility of a better tomorrow. Hope is all I have. But in nothing changes. Here, the hope has long since died. Sugar factory is still closed. The silence was only interrupted by the snapping wind, dust rising from the streets.
In the evening, each of the inhabitants of the town joins the passing street patriotic march. Aldo and Monica also to join him, with faith in the fact that hunger and needs of the people themselves will disappear soon.
