Synopsis

Abraham, Karla, and José, three young journalists, evoke the hope that came to Cuba in 2015 with widespread internet access: a spark that amplified their voices but also revealed shadows that pushed them to leave their country. Between memory and exile, their journey shows the human cost of finding a voice on an island in silence, and the resilience of those who, even from afar, keep telling stories born in a park with a frail Wi-Fi signal.
