Following the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, a frustrated bourgeois writer finds himself alone in Havana as his friends and relatives leave for the US. His bewilderment amid a revolutionary process he supports ideologically—but can’t adapt to—sparks a lucid, profound reflection on the state of Cuba itself, suspended at the time in a complex process of reorganization.
