Oceans Are the Real Continents

Alex and Edith, a couple in their thirties, navigate their relationship through small gestures and daily life amidst the ruins of Cuban buildings. Milagros, a retired elderly woman, survives by selling peanuts, her days filled with the radio and old letters. Nine-year-old friends Frank and Alain attend school and share a dream of emigrating to the United States to become Major League Baseball players. Against the backdrop of San Antonio De Los Baños, a Cuban town where time seems suspended, these three narratives unfold. Over this mosaic of contemporaneity, brought to life by the characters' memories, hovers the specter of separation, the true great scourge of Cuban society.
