Emotion, sentiment, feeling, all sensations the artist believes and lives for
2 November 2005 | by poseidonricardo – See all my reviews

This a story about the underground rock scene in Cuba. It starts when 2 longtime friends-rockers are met with the opportunity to meet an agent/scout who offers a chance to certain musicians to leave the island and work in Spain.

But its much more than that, it portrays the internal struggle normal people endure in a impoverished country.

The subdued energies of yearning reach the lower and higher limits of reality. Were upon some cruxes are to be met with crucial decisions were there is no turning back.

In you are an artist of any medium, a admirer of drama (as in the genre), and specially if you have a band, Don't loose the opportunity to catch this film, it is a special feature experience.
