Description
Cuando la fallida invasi̤n de Bah̕a de Cochinos en 1961 solidifica el poder de Castro en Cuba, la familia de Cumba, de doce ąos, toma la dif̕cil decisi̤n de enviarlo solo a la Florida. Ante la idea de vivir en otro pa̕s por s̕ mismo, Cumba intenta recordar el sonido del clarinete de su padre, el olor del perfume de lavanda de su madre. La vida en Estados Unidos presenta toda una nueva serie de desaf̕os. Perdido en un mar de angloparlantes, Cumba tiene que navegar una nueva ciudad, una nueva escuela y una nueva libertad por su propia cuenta. Con cada d̕a que pasa, Cumba se siente m̀s confiado en su nuevo entorno, pero contin͠a pregunt̀ndose si su familia volver̀ a estar completa otra vez. ¿O acaso sus familiares se mantendr̀n fuera de su alcance, a 90 millas, al otro lado del mar?
Description
In 1961 Cuba, with the threat of military service for children looming, twelve-year-old Cumba's parents send him to Miami, where he lives with a new family and misses his homeland.
