In Cuba, there is the reality — hunger, no drinking water, little hope for tomorrow — and there is the dream. The American Dream. Mariela looks 90 miles north, to the Florida shore, imagining a brighter future, but her husband, Pita, a struggling fisherman, feels anchored to their home. Voices of the Sea offers a portrait of a family caught in a Cuba often hidden from view and a nation hampered by the broken promises of revolution.
