A tragicomedy that tackles the subject of friendship in a city on the verge of substantial change. The lead characters are two friends in their mid-forties who are neighbors from the Centro Habana neighborhood: Miguel – a dishwasher in a restaurant, who dreams of settling in New York while he waits for a visa that never seems to arrive – and Diego, a homosexual man suffering from AIDS who puts his dreams and cheerfulness to good use in his struggle to continue enjoying every single day of his life from a rickety old bed in his small bedroom. This peculiar pair is surrounded by characters from all walks of life.
