"Que las contradicciones del burgués pueden reflejar como en un espejo las de la sociedad donde la burguesía ha llevado la voz cantante, lo demuestra esta obra maestra del razonamiento y la ironía. Una historia personal que hubiera sido intrascendente de no ocurrir en los vertiginosos días de la revolución, cuando todas las contradicciones se pusieron al rojo vivo. La película entrega un monólogo interior con mirada a la calle, como es la novela homónima de Edmundo Desnoes."@es

"Resumen: Sergio es un intelectual pequeño burgués que se queda en Cuba como un espectador después del triunfo de la Revolución. Ve partir a su mujer, padres y amigos hacia EU. Él queda solo intentando analizar los acontecimientos que han tenido lugar en su país. La Revolución se convierte en un reto: trata de analizarla, entenderla, oponerle sus valores burgueses. A lo largo de la cinta Sergio va recordando su vida pasada y se da cuenta que el mundo no es sólo su vida individual, están también los antecedentes: la dictadura de Batista, las luchas estudiantiles, la indiferencia de la burguesía, la invasión a playa Girón. Todo culmina con la crisis de octubre. Sergio descubre que toda su educación y sus valores se derrumban."@es
""Sergio watches as nearly everyone who can, abandons Cuba in the wake of Castro's triumphant overthrow of Batista. Why he doesn't join them is one of the film's burning questions. Utilizing newsreel footage, the film superimposes the main character into or onto the setting of revolutionary Cuba in a very successful way, capturing the drama of those times and his own dilemmas. That the Revolution itself was started by and led by the disaffected sons and daughters of the upper class, the question to stay and try to transform the country, also meant getting on their wagon, while leaving had its own implications. Caught in the middle, and abandoned by his wife, who left for Miami, he becomes infatuated with his housekeeper, a Baptist convert, giving the film and interesting erotic spirituality, in one beautiful scene imaging her baptism, and later picking up a young woman and having a relationship that nealy lands him in jail, discovering underdevelopment and social conservatism in relation to his own loose morality. In the end, he's tolerated by the revolution, probably much to the dislike of the anti-Castro crowd" --Internet Movie Database."
