When a young woman in Seville comes across La Singla’s story, a bigger picture starts to be unveiled.

A month previously, his arrest under the accusation of endangering the security of the Cuban state had mobilised prominent intellectuals all over the world, who wrote a letter to Fidel Castro calling for the release of the poet, whose only sin had been to dissent through his poetic work.
