At a bus station in a town in the middle of Cuba, the line of passengers waiting for a bus to take them somewhere else just keeps growing longer. Their only hope is to wait for the bus station´s sole vehicle to be fixed. Emilio, a young engineer, Jacqueline, a beautiful young woman engaged to a Spaniard, a blind man and other characters are waiting.
Fernández, the manager, announces that there is no solution to the problem and the station will be closing. Most of the people leave, but Emilio suggests staying and repairing the bus themselves…
