    • Synopsis
    • In the late 1980s, Argentine rock icon Fito Páez first visited Havana, invited by Pablo Milanés. His presence at a music festival shook the island, to which he'd return many times. For him, it was love at first sight. Thirty years later, sitting on the terrace of a traditional hotel in Havana, Fito recounts his story with Cuba, its music, its people, as well as its complex reality and its contradictions.
