Title:
The Music of the Spheres
Synopsis:
Regina and Mauricio's long voyage dates back to when and how they met and fell in love, in the Utopian Cuba of the 1980s. During the couple's journey, there is an allusion to the opposition of Regina's father, who decided to disown the union with a mulatto from a poor family. Despite the many prejudices and obstacles, Regina and Mauricio stayed together for more than 35 years.
