Propriétaire d'un bateau, Simon est aussi séducteur que criminel. Il propose à ses compatriotes cubains de les emmener aux États-Unis mais les abandonne au milieu de la mer. Un jour qu'il est poursuivi par la police américaine, un de ses matelots lui sauve pourtant la vie. Leur relation devient si forte que Simon n'accepte pas que ce dernier tombe amoureux d'une femme et cherche à quitter l'île.

In the 1950s, Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa Mirabal - who were known by their codename "The Butterflies" - created an underground resistance movement against Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic. On November 25, 1960, Trujillo had all three sisters assassinated. The assassinations turned the Mirabal sisters into national heroines and symbols of feminist resistance. The documentary interweaves interviews with over forty witnesses to the story, including the Mirabal family friends, colleagues, co-revolutionaries, teachers, and most importantly, their surviving sister, Dedé, along with dramatic reenactments and archival footage.
