This film is a journey through the life of a Cuban revolutionary poet Roberto Fernandez Retamar, who since "House of the Americas" has been a link between the revolution and the main contemporary writers and thinkers. The film focuses on some crucial questions: Can a revolutionary poet be faithful to poetry and revolution at the same time? Can an intellectual keep alive his critical capacity, still immersed in a political process to which he has adhered from the start?
