Ovo je istinita priča o kubanskom pesniku Rejnaldu Arenasu (scenario je pisan po motivima iz njegovih memoara), koji je dobar deo svog života proveo po Kastrovim zatvorima zato što je bio homoseksualac i kritički nastrojen umetnik. Film prati celokupan njegov život. Arenas (Javier Bardem) je detinjstvo proveo u bedi i siromaštvu, a kao mladić bio jedan od vatrenih revolucionara. Međutim, ubrzo sledi razočarenje - Fidel Kastro pokazuje svoje pravo lice. Sledi progon intelektualaca, a Arenas je pogodna žrtva zbog seksualnih opredeljenja koje kubansko društvo ne prihvata...
