The Eternal Night is the story of three Cuban young men that were condemned for their beliefs and their creations. It is about the power of the imagination to transcend circumstance.

In suburban Miami, a Cuban immigrant longs for a lost memory. A voice creates a meditative portrait of two tropical landscapes-separated by 100 miles of ocean-and two men dancing at twilight; the distance of their bodies both measured and infinite.

The film narrates the most horrible tortures that political prisoners "Plantados" received from the Castro regime.

A recent Cuban refugee arrival, Raul, is hunting for mangoes he can hustle to local bodegas for some cash when he inadvertently becomes octogenarian Cuban lady prey.
