Synopsis "Neblina del Ayer, la (in Spanish)"

La Habana, verano de 2003. Han trascurrido catorce años desde que el teniente investigador Mario Conde, desencantado, abandonara la policía. En esos años han ocurrido muchos cambios en Cuba, y también en la vida de Mario Conde. Su inclinación por la literatura y la necesidad de ganarse la vida lo han llevado a dedicarse a la compra y venta de libros de segunda mano. El hallazgo fortuito de una valiosísima biblioteca le coloca al borde de un magnífico negocio, capaz de aliviar sus penurias materiales. Pero, en un libro de esa biblioteca, aparece una hoja de revista en la que una cantante de boleros de los años cincuenta, Violeta del Río, anuncia su retiro en la cumbre de su carrera. Mario Conde, a former police lieutenant initiates an investigation, without imagining that by following the track of Violeta del Rio, an enigmatic singer of boleros, he will awaken a turbulent past that, like the fabulous library, has been blocked off for more than 40 years...
