The first years of the Cuban Revolution characterized by social transformations and class struggles.

Based on the classic Cuban piece The Old House by writer Abelardo Estorino, the film tells the story of Esteban, who returns home after a 14-year absence when he learns of the imminent death of his father. Residing outside of his native Cuba he re-encounters a past that is almost intact. Secrets, old grudges, misunderstandings, and intolerance leave him to stay in a home where time seems to have stood still.

A world record, an accident, a heroic act, a matter of scientific interest. All this happens simultaneously. The editorial board of the newspaper La Avanzada must decide what goes on the front page.
