In the wake of the Chernobyl nuclear crisis, Malin, a professor of Russian Literature at the University of Havana, must act as a translator between Cuban doctors and young victims sent from the Soviet Union to receive medical treatment. After the initial shock of their injuries, Malin quickly bonds with the ailing children. As he becomes more involved in the patients’ lives, Malin begins to neglect his own family’s needs.
