LETTERS ON THE SEA

It is the 70's in the Cuba of prohibitions and totalitarianism. Pipo" (Carlos Izquierdo) decides to escape from the island in search of freedom. A speedboat will come to pick him up to take him to Miami, then a bastion of Cubans on the run. The meeting point with "the extractor" is an old shack in ruins that looks, with nostalgia, towards the Florida Straits. There Pipo meets Noé (Orlando Núnez), an angry old man who is also on the run. Not from Cuba, but from himself, and from an old dream mutilated at the dawn of a revolution that promised a better life. And it turns out that in it he also lost the most precious affections of his life.

Pipo's arrival could not be more inopportune: the suicide rope hangs from the only beam that has not succumbed to the abandonment of the old hut; the military revolver lies on the small table where Noe has written his last letter. But Pipo has to take refuge in the cabin. They are looking for him. Escaping" in Cuba is punishable by years in jail... or death. And those who are after him prefer the second option.
Meanwhile, in the clandestine dungeons of the State Security, an unhinged "Lieutenant Guerra" (Jorge Manzanilla) savagely tortures William (Carlos Pascual), Pipo's direct boss, suspected of having conspired to escape. Inevitably, the whereabouts of the young fugitive will be discovered.
