But Antuán will move to Habana at the end of the summer and these holidays might be the last they ever spend together. This part fiction, part documentary film captures the spontaneity of young friends Leonel and Antuàn Here is a film that blurs the lines between fiction and documentary as it accentuates bittersweet childhood connections, full of teases, mischief and innocent tenderness.
