Set in the Cuban community in Miami, the story revolves around the relationship between Nestor (Smits), a recently released political prisoner, his wife Isabel (Scacchi), who had fled Cuba after Nestor was imprisoned, and Sam (D'Onofrio), the fisherman who had rescued Isabel from almost certain death at sea.
Cast
Production
Because she'd never had them done previously, Greta Scacchi had to have her ears pierced especially for her role as Isabel, so that she would be able to wear the large gold hoop earrings favoured by many Cuban women.
