Other modern face of the Cuban melancholy ruins - Juragua, fallen city built from scratch in the 80s when the first nuclear power plant in Cuba, unfinished due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Three generations of Cubans are stuck in a small Staff apartment. Caring for goldfish old man Otto, an unemployed engineer with no prospect Rafael and the youngest, a girl abandoned by Leo - grandfather, father and son - are forced to live together. Throttling frustration and lack of hope, constantly confronted with the past, looking at the point of attachment. Their memories are illustrated with fragments of old reports from the Cuban television, in which propaganda enthusiasm gives the atomic project almost erotic aura. The collapse of the project violates the essence of masculinity, above all heroes. Carlos M. Quintela creates existential metaphor - Cuba over the years is in a stalemate, and his countrymen to survive seems to suffice absurd humor mixed with a longing for the past.
