And so are artists, but the Cuban government has criminalized any art that doesn't meet their approval.

Soleida escapes to Central America alone, joining the thousands of Cuban refugees stranded in Costa Rica while seeking asylum elsewhere.

Together they work to protect the environment and bring attention to the imprisoned artists in Cuba. Soon they discover that love isn't about fallingit's about soaring together to new heights.
