Description:
The film presents the true story of a diverse group of Cuban individuals who were brought to Miami during the Mariel Boatlift, in which tens of thousands of people traveled from Cuba to America in an unprecedented mass migration. As they arrive, these individuals find themselves housed in a temporary camp established in the heart of the city.Life within the camp is far from conventional; men and women, heterosexuals and homosexuals all coexist together, separated only by makeshift curtains strung up between beds, creating an atmosphere of shared vulnerability and transparency. The characters in this film navigate the challenges of their new surroundings, adapting to a foreign culture while striving for stability amidst the chaotic environment that surrounds them.This poignant tale delves into themes of cultural assimilation, community building, and human connection against the backdrop of an extraordinary historical event. By offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people caught up in a larger narrative, it invites the audience to empathize with their experiences and reflect on the complexities of the immigration process.
