With the memory of distant races charged with magic and wisdom running through her veins, Adolfina Olleres defies all the conventions of her time and confronts the entrenched racial prejudice of Cuba in the fifties.
She travels throughout Asia, interweaving her physical and spiritual experiences into a deep and mystical Tibetan wisdom that resonates with her very distinct childhood in Cuba. On her pilgrimage and her sensual return to Cuba, ancient dance and the echo of sacred black drums beat in Adolfina’s blood.
Sex, primordial relationships, maternal love . . . and at the core, a family of women with solidarity and the unshakable friendship between sisters and friends!
