Pitufo, a young Cuban shipbreaker, dreams of escaping the remote bay where he spends his days between metal and fire. In search of his freedom, he embarks on a labyrinthine journey to the swamps of Southwest Florida. An uncanny territory where he must face his deepest fears. The Star portrays the emigration process in depth, exploring how space, dreams and desires define a journey full of uncertainties.
