Alfredo Perojo

Santiago de Cuba, 1956. Pablo, a young mulatto with a deep poetic sensibility, studies at the university. He loves María, who, despite her parents' wealthy position, is not accepted in high society because of the color of her skin.

A bourgeois Cuban family of aristocratic origin locks itself into its mansion when the Cuban Revolution comes to power, waiting for the new regime to be overthrown. As time passes, they regress to older and older systems of political order, from capitalism to feudalism to "primitive savagery."

Featured in a musical environment possible light anywhere in the world, adapted to a Cuban city makes good use of music. The argument is based on the desires and efforts of middle-income families, to hold a quinceanera at a level greater than that permitted by the economic status of a family.
