Caruka, Raul, Nelson and Yanuci are divided between collectivism and individualism. Cuba changes and their only reference mark is the Havana's sea front, El Malecon. There, inside this micro-society, they looking for an outlet for their daily difficulties. This place is the expression of their faintness and their daily fight «la lucha » to live with dignity. The Havana's Sofa, seven kilometers long low wall gathers all the Cubans. Malecon is one of the last barrier to the change of their society.
