Screenplay
In 1937, near the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, a young Haitian woman named Marie is expecting her first child with Frank, her doting Dominican husband. After her mother's burial, she is awakened in the middle of the night by distant screams. The immediate execution of all Haitians on Dominican soil has been ordered — the so-called “Cut” — and what seals a victim’s fate is whether or not they can pronounce "perejil" (parsley). Marie takes off to find Frank in the next town over, with nothing but the clothes on her back.

После статьи в газете, в которой сообщалось о том, что граждане по фамилии Кастиньейрас могут претендовать на многомиллионное наследство, дожидающееся своего законного владельца в британском банке, свои права на эти деньги предъявили более двадцати пяти тысяч кубинцев. Действие этой сатирической комедии происходит в маленьком кубинском городе, где новость о таинственном наследстве, оставленном некими английскими монахинями еще в 18-м столетии, производит эффект разорвавшейся бомбы. Все гордые обладатели фамилии Кастиньейрас тут же бросаются доказывать, что именно им-то и должны достаться вожделенные миллионы. Главный герой, Бернардито, решает возглавить эту безумную «золотую лихорадку».

At a rundown bus station in rural Cuba, the line of passengers waiting just keeps getting longer. The problem is that every bus that passes by is already full. Their only hope is to wait for the station's bus to be fixed. As the disparate group settles in, relationships start forming between the passengers: Emilio, a young engineer, becomes smitten with a beautiful young woman who is en route to meet her Spanish fiancé, a blind man gets support from the others to go to the head of the line. Frustration and disorder reign when the one bus brakes down and no one can leave. Resigned to working together, the group magically transforms the station into a beautiful place where no one wants to leave.
