Synopsis "Cuando lloran los delfines (in Spanish)"

"Cuando lloran los delfines" toma lugar en Cuba y en Los Estados Unidos. La primera parte, "En Noches sin Luna," está inspirada en la verdadera historia de un joven cubano, Rafael, y sus tres hermanos que atravesaron nadando la Bahia de Guantánamo--a pesar de los tiburones y barcas patrulleras castristas--en medio de la noche para pedir asilo político en La Base Naval. La increíble escapada fue la culminación de años de prisión, trabajos forzados, y haber solicitado inútilmente permiso de salir legalmente de Cuba. La segunda parte, "Arenas Rojas," es la historia fascinante, repetida a través de los años, de la desesperada huída atravesando el Estrecho de la Florida en barquichuelos y balsas improvisadas. El lector conocerá un fascinante collage de cubanos desesperados cuyas vidas se cruzan al tratar de escapar de su patria en un viejo barco pesquero: Amalia, una determinada profesora universitaria; Gustavo, un oceanógrafo enamorado de Amalia; Pedro, un pescador atormentado por sus circunstancias; Aquilina, su esposa; y Maribel y Arturo, disidentes politicos perseguidos. Cuando el barco se hunde durante un huracán, los sobrevivientes logran llegar a un cayo. Son descubiertos por un avión de "Hermanos al Rescate," que promete volver a recogerlos. Se salvarán el resto de los sobrevivientes, o perecerán como miles de víctimas que han muerto en el mar durante los últimos 50 años, tratando de escapar? "When the Dolphins Cry" takes place in Cuba and the United States. Part I, "In Moonless Nights," was inspired by the true story of a young man, Rafael, and his three brothers who swam across the shark-infested waters of Guantanamo Bay in the dark of night to seek political asylum in the United States at the American Naval Base. Their daring escape to freedom capped off years of being in prison for political dissent and repeated efforts to obtain permission to emigrate legally from Castro's Cuba. Part II, "Red Sands," is a gripping blend of fiction and actual historical events; it pays tribute to the thousands of Cuban men, women, and children who have risked all in pursuit of freedom by crossing the Straits of Florida in anything that will float. The reader will meet, and come to know, a fascinating collage of desperate Cubans whose lives intersect as they flee their homeland in an old fishing boat: Amalia, a young, resolute University professor; Gustavo, an oceanographer in love with Amalia; Pedro, a veteran fisherman and captain of the boat; his wife, Aquilina; and Maribel and Arturo, political dissidents. After their boat capsizes during a hurricane, a "Brothers to the Rescue" plane appears on the horizon. Will the survivors be saved? Or will they perish like countless others whose voices have been forever silenced by the sea?
