100min
Nolberto Pierre (45, black and ex-cop)’s young lover starts refusing to have sex. They used to walk into empty houses and have sex until her apathy started driving them apart. Nolberto works as an officer for a census that registers people who still remain in Santiago de Cuba, city that is being emptied by an exodus of which nobody speaks of, and is turning into a set for movies and music videos.
Marisol Masaguet, a beautiful middle aged nurse whose image identifies a natality campaign, is missing, and Nolberto’s boss taxes him with investigating her whereabouts. For the authority Marisol symbolizes not only birth and repopulation, but a model of human being, Che’s “new man” incarnated in a woman.
