Cuba is not a country for young gays. Teen rent boy Reinier falls in love with a mate in the slum soccer field in their neighbourhood in Havana. Although obsessed with moneymaking to hold up his baby, teen wife, and wife's grandma, gambler Reinier always fails to get the stroke of luck he looks for. At the same time he cannot help being infatuated by Yosvani. Handsome Yosvani will give up his older, wealthy girlfriend (whom he hooked up to pay for a lavish life in the big city), and the work he does for her father, a loan thug, so much in love he is with Reinier. But the boys would fight hard to keep this love in the reckless Havana streets.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The characters of the men don't deepen. Instead, the movie loses its internal quality and becomes a fairly predictable thriller about being gay in Cuba.

rotten:
A superficial take on a fascinating cultural hypocrisy, doused in sudsy melodrama and wobbly acting.
