It's 1979 and Lizette Marquez is about to marry a nice Jewish boy in a ceremony at Woodland Hills Country Club that is costing thousands of dollars. While she and her extended three-generational family enjoy the fruits of material success in their adopted country, they remain haunted by memories of Cuba. They experience the cultural divide faced by Cuban - Americans who feel they are 3000 miles from their real lives. In their idle fantasies, Cuba might still be reclaimed, so they cling to memories of a society displaced by the revolution.
