Driving around the streets of Cuba, Lav Diaz – the famous Filipino director – and Gustavo Flecha – a talkative Cuban taxi driver – find themselves discussing about politics, migration, social conditions and love. Touching many personal stories and experiences, they create an historical affresco of the conditions of their own countries. During their dialogues, the real reason of the director’s presence in Cuba emerges: Lav is looking for a mysterious ex-general escaped from the Philippines after the end of the Marcos dictatorship, Juan Mijares Cruz.
