Description
A young man comes of age surviving the chaos following the victory of the Cuban revolution, starting as the youngest military commander and then engaging in resistance and espionage activities against the government. Discovered, he has to make the arduous and dangerous journey across the island to seek his exit at the U.S. Navy Reservation in Guantanamo, passing through jungles, swamps, mine fields, and finally swimming through freezing, shark-infested waters to cross Guantanamo Bay to enter the base. He is flown to the U.S. and immediately has to be relocated to Los Angeles to continue his work as a spy.
