Sergio and Sergei
Directed by Ernesto Daranas
A tender, contemplative drama about two men separated by geography and circumstance finding human connection and mutual aid through amateur radio during the collapse of the Soviet Union and Cuba's economic crisis.
In 1991, the USSR is falling apart and Cuba enters its hardest economic crisis. Sergio, a professor of Marxism who can't provide for his family, and Sergei, a Soviet cosmonaut stranded in the Mir space station, share a common passion: amateur radio. Through this hobby, both men will be able to help each other in facing the dramatic changes of their countries.
