The story follows César, a Cuban prisoner freed by Fidel Castro during the Mariel Exodus in 1980. Alongside 135,000 other Cubans fleeing to the United States, he struggles to rebuild his life, harboring a burning desire for revenge, haunted by betrayal and injustice. Echoes of Regret explores the complexities of freedom, the scars of the past, and the fine line between justice and madness.
