Cuba, summer of 1994. In the midst of período especial, one of the greatest crises in the country’s history, thousands of Cuban rafters try to reach the United States illegally, never sure if they’ll make it out alive.

Little does he know about the country’s uncertain future, and in this hot summer, the world of Carlos will turn upside down.
