Synopsis:

A conversation with Victor Alfonso Cedeño, architect, scriptwriter, animator and director. Victor had to abandon the island when he was denied access to medical attention and condemned to die from a disease that was curable. Alfonso Cedeño tells the story of the abuses he experienced after being diagnosed with cancer at the Havana Institute of Oncology.

Victor did not give up and began a long process of fighting to receive treatment in the United States. Having finally found a path to fight for his life, Victor had to face the Cuban medical institutions to request the necessary documentation that would enable his transfer to the United States. He was denied these documents, and accused and humiliated during the process.
