The film tells the true story of a diverse group of Cubans who arrived in Miami during the Mariel Boatlift, a massive migration of people from Cuba to the United States. Upon arrival, they are housed in a temporary camp in the city.
Life in the camp is unconventional; men and women, and people of all sexual orientations live together, separated only by curtains, fostering a sense of shared vulnerability. The characters navigate the difficulties of their new lives, adapting to a different culture while seeking stability within a chaotic setting.
This moving story explores cultural adjustment, community, and human bonds against the backdrop of a significant historical event. By showing the lives of ordinary people caught in a larger story, the film encourages viewers to connect with their experiences and consider the complexities of immigration.
