Ramón, el hijo de un pescador asturiano, es uno de ellos. Su partida está llena de sentimientos enfrentados: por un lado, lamenta dejar atrás a Clara, la chica de buena familia de la que está enamorado y que le corresponde; por el otro, su espíritu aventurero le impulsa a buscar fortuna lejos de su hogar para así ser aceptado por los parientes de la muchacha.
La vida no es fácil en La Habana, y Ramón comprende enseguida que sus ilusiones son frágiles quimeras en esta nueva tierra que sabe a libertad y oportunidades, pero también a trabajo duro y tabaco. Será en el mundo de las tabaquerías donde encontrará su oportunidad, leyendo a los obreros al tiempo que estos retuercen las preciadas hojas. Mientras tanto, en la lejana Asturias, Clara se debate entre la lealtad hacia Ramón y las presiones para contraer un matrimonio de conveniencia con alguien a quien no ama.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Ramón, the son of an Asturian fisherman, is one of them. His departure is filled with conflicting feelings: on the one hand, he regrets leaving behind Clara, the girl from a good family with whom he is in love and who loves him in return; on the other hand, his adventurous spirit drives him to seek his fortune far from home in order to be accepted by the girl’s relatives.
Life is not easy in Havana, and Ramón quickly realizes that his dreams are fragile chimeras in this new land that tastes of freedom and opportunity, but also of hard work and tobacco. It is in the world of tobacco factories that he will find his opportunity, reading to the workers as they twist the precious leaves. Meanwhile, in distant Asturias, Clara is torn between her loyalty to Ramón and the pressure to enter into a marriage of convenience with someone she does not love.
