Synopsis

After having lived for years in Cuba, undergoing all kinds of training and meeting Che himself before his trip to Bolivia, Manex (Unax Ugalde) has a special mission: to rescue a black panther that is at risk of being killed by being outside the United States and be able to bring her back to Havana. The problem is that it will not be a simple excursion since the CIA suspects that Cuba is involved in this type of operations, even within its own territory, so Manex must find an alternative route with which to deceive the agents who are scattered all over the world looking for him. Directed by Fermín Muguruza, the film features the voices of Unax Ugalde, Isaach de Bankolé, Emma Suárez, María de Medeiros and Jorge Perugorria.
