A story of a young man Yoan Pablo Hernandez, who out of responsibility towards his family leaves his home in Cuba. In order to provide a better life for his parents and siblings, he decides to earn as much money as possible in far away Germany. His biggest asset is his talent as a boxer. The price he is prepared to pay for his ambition is high. Life amongst the extended family in Cuba is exchanged for a fight against isolation. Pablo's plight is made all the worse by the fact that there is no way back after being labeled a 'defector' by his homeland. A film about a life in isolation and yearning for home.
