An aging, down-on-his-luck Italian conductor reluctantly travels back to Havana, Cuba, to oversee several performances of Rossini compositions in which he specializes. His concerns seem well-founded when his trip starts off on the wrong foot and he is suddenly meets for the first time the son he never knew he fathered, but his past eventually adds new purpose and meaning to his present. This is a heart-warming, nostalgic tale of a quirky old man rediscovering the “spice of life” once again.
