Synopsis
Immersed in the jungle of Cuba’s Sierra Maestra, three veterans of the Angolan War are reluctant to abandon the revolutionary spirit which brought them together as comrades over thirty years ago. Always on guard, they continue to train, dressed in their old uniforms for an endless mission: a war game in which they still can feel respected, strong and, above all, spiritually young. They are the last samurai of the Cuban Revolution.
Entre Perro y Lobo will be preceded by Los Niños Lobos (The Wolf Kids).
