Synopsis

In the wake of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Malin, a Russian literature professor at the University of Havana, is separated from his family and job when he is assigned to work as a translator between Cuban doctors and children arriving from the USSR to receive medical treatment for radiation poisoning.
