Alas Salvajes (Wings in the Wild)

"Los seres alados han de ser libres. Y tambiâen lo han de ser los artistas, pero el gobierno cubano ha criminalizado cualquier arte que no tenga su aprobaciâon. Soleida y sus padres protestan contra esta injusticia con su jardâin secreto de esculturas de aves encadenadas. Luego, un huracâan derriba las paredes y deja al descubierto el arte ilegal, y sus padres son arrestados ... Soleida huye sola a Centroamâerica y se une a miles de refugiados cubanos varados en Costa Rica mientras buscan asilo en cualquier otro sitio. Ahâi, conoce a Dariel, un muchacho cubanoamericano cuya mâusica enigmâatica hechiza a las aves, a los animales ... y a Soleida. Juntos trabajan para proteger el medioambiente y atraer la atenciâon del mundo hacia los artistas presos en Cuba. Pronto descubren que el amor no consta de caer rendido, sino de volar juntos hacia nuevas alturas. Pero las alas pueden ser frâagiles, y Soleida y Dariel vienen de mundos diferentes. ÅAcaso ese futuro mejor por el que luchan incluirâa la posibilidad de que estâen juntos"--
