Viva Cuba
In a tale akin to Romeo and Juliet, the friendship between two children is threatened by their parents' differences.

What neither woman recognizes is the immense strength of the bond between Malu and Jorgito. When the children learn that Malu's mother is planning to leave Cuba, they decide to travel to the other side of the island to find Malu's father and persuade him against signing the forms that would allow it.
