Taking place in the early sixties, after Fidel Castro has already taken over, a young poet, Emmanuel, is arguing with his wife, Marianella. He is for the Revolution while she opposes it. All Emmanuel wants is a change from the corrupt Batista, Cuba's former leader. Marianella has already seen signs of Fidel's communistic ways. From Newfilmmakers.

A romantic triangle played out as a sweetly psychedelic fever-dream of antiquing, omelet preparation and alpacas, Upstate offers a rich and moving meditation on the passage of time and the casual disappointments of life.
