subconscious mind where the answer to ending his living nightmare lies in his dreams."--Container.

In this romantic comedy, Yoyita, a world-famous diva, returns to her home town of Guantanamo for an elegant reception
and a surprise reunion with her once beloved, Candido. Overjoyed with the rekindled memories of her first love, Yoyita's
elated heart fizzles while in Candido's embrace. Joining Yoyita's funeral procession back to Havana are her sexy niece Gina,
a former professor blacklisted for political nonconformity, and her husband Adolfo, a tasteless government official in charge
of the funeral proceedings. As the cortege wends westward across Cuba, its path keeps crossing that of Mariano, a gallant
truck driver who once had a crush on Gina and whose recurring presence crystallizes her doubts about her marriage.
