Fires within

When husband and wife Nestor (Jimmy Smits) and Isabel (Greta Scacchi) are reunited after Nestor is freed from jail for serving a 10 year term as a political prisoner they both find it hard to existence as husband and wife, living in Miami’s Little Havana. The community are eager for Nestor to resume his role as spokesperson for atrocities perpetrated by the Cuban government. His wife, Isabel (Greta Scacchi), does not want their lives or their families in Cuba sacrificed to the greater cause of freedom of expression.

Cast also includes Vincent D’Onofrio.
