Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
A Japanese sailor lands in Cuba and is eager to take in the scenery there. He is enamored with a local girl and soon love blossoms between the two. She speaks of the pre-Castro days when the Batista government contributed to the demise of her family. The woman leaves him when her devotion to the revolution becomes greater than her love for the lovelorn sailor. Stock footage shows Castro giving a speech that idolizes Che Guevara and calls for the revolution to spread to South America.
