Cuban-born brothers and virtuoso musicians Ilmar and Aldo have spent decades apart, living at the opposite sides of the political chasm that separates Cuba and the United States. But despite the distance and different existences, the brothers have always had an instinctual connection. When brief windows of open relations between the two countries allow the siblings to reunite, they embark on a joyous tour across their native and adopted homelands, where they revel in each others’ company and create beautiful classical, jazz, and Latin music. Featuring an electrifying score composed by the two brothers with master violinist Joshua Bell and the Harlem Quartet, this heartfelt film shows how the bonds of family—and the power of music—can transcend political divide.
