Set against the backdrop of 1950s Cuba, this gripping biographical drama explores the complex and deeply personal story of Alina Fernández, the daughter of revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. Raised in privilege and shielded from her father's true identity, Alina, portrayed by Ana Villafane, grows into a fiercely independent woman who becomes increasingly disillusioned with the regime that her father built. As she navigates a world of political turmoil and personal rebellion, she finds herself caught between loyalty to her family and her own yearning for freedom. The film delves into her fraught relationship with her mother, played by Mia Maestro, and her encounters with influential figures, including a charismatic American journalist brought to life by James Franco. Directed by Miguel Bardem, the movie weaves a tale of defiance and identity, blending intimate family drama with the sweeping historical forces that shaped a nation. It is a poignant exploration of one woman's struggle to define herself in the shadow of a larger-than-life legacy.
