Director Patricia Ramos sets this comedy drama, her second feature and also written by her, in 2016 Havana.
It was a time when Cuba featured regularly in the international media with Obama’s visit, a Chanel fashion show and the historic Rolling Stones concert. This film is not about that historical concert, rather that moment.

 Middle-aged Rita navigates troublesome relationships with her teenage son who wants to leave Cuba, her aging mother, her married lover, and her lifelong friend who is ill.

On the eve of the concert, Rita she takes decisions that begin to give her some independence, as she hopes that something interesting is about to happen.

Described in the Cuban press as “a film that seems simple, but in the end is also a treatise on what has gone and what has been lost, about the unbreakable will to cling to certain values, on the part of people who stay in their place, who are not going anywhere, animated by the crazy idea that they may find, very close to their home, what they have always been looking for.”
