An elderly couple in their nineties live a plain and solitary life in the Cuban countryside. Their everyday routine unfolds in rituals celebrating the small things. Building a traditional charcoal oven; keeping it hot, while a storm approaches. The groundbreaking news concerning the country’s political scene reaches them through a dilapidated TV set. A documentary with beautiful black and white imagery that observes how personal stories roll in the flow of History.
