The play begins with flamboyant writer Federico making his first trip back to Cuba, thirty-some years after he immigrated to the States as a child. In Cuba, Federico and his friend Fred meet Ernesto, a car driver and lifelong resident of Havana. The three men get to know each other better and soon learn where the real boundaries of the world lie.
