The first tempo \u201cEntronque de caminos\u201d, takes place in the spring of 1994, when Alex goes for the first time to Havana, with his friend Maria. The second tempo, \u201cYunaisis, la Dragona\u201d, covers the following two years. When Alex returns to Havana, travels to Playas del Este and then to Santiago, what it lasts his ethylic romance with a mulatto from Oriente, a young transvestite who has casted a spell on him.
