Un pájaro voló

A Bird Flew
The memory of a friend who is no longer around torments Boloy’s thoughts. The key player on the Cuban volleyball team, Boloy tries to return to morning training despite the pain of the loss – because he knows that his life must go on. The film reflects the director’s experiences of losing a loved one himself.
