During a documentary residency in the Sierra Maestra, Cuba, a filmmaker befriends Sara, a seven-year-old girl who moves between San Pablo de Yao and La Nave. Together, they play and explore a world where Sara is simply a child; within this everyday intimacy, traces of the island’s crisis quietly emerge. The filmmaker transforms this bond into a letter to Sara—a return to those shared days, and a way to think of her from afar after they part.

What entertains children and allows them to dream in a small Cuban town? A roller skating coach from San Pablo de Yao, a small town in the Sierra Maestra, Cuba, leaves his house in his daily routine, crosses the river, and teaches skating classes. He returns home, carrying all the love of the city of San Pablo de Yao. However, his work is fraught with conflicts that mark his work and the children's education. The streets of San Pablo de Yao allow this sport to exist in the city, but the river poses a threat during periods of constant rain, causing training to be suspended for several days, either because it prevents Chepe from crossing the river and reaching the town, or because the streets are wet.
