They are separated when Ivan is drafted and sent to Vietnam. When Iva... more »n is reported MIA for several years, Julia becomes closer with Kike. Ivan returns, takes Julia to New York and marries her, leaving Kike behind. Much later, Ivan is diagnosed with cancer, and this time it is he who decides to return to Culebra with Julia. With her help, he begins to participate in Culebra's social needs. He even ventures in a small boat and that is when he stumbles on Cayo, a small island closeby. Here he finds peace of mind, and the island has a healing effect on him. When federal authorities try to keep Ivan away from Cayo, they find themselves face to face with a community that will defend Ivan's need to visit the island. Based on a true story of love and friendship that will touch your heart, this wrenching drama was filmed in the beautiful natural scenery of Culebra, Puerto Rico.

La vida los separa cuando el ejercito de los Estados Unidos recluta a Ivan para enviarlo a Vietnam. La desaparicion, por anos, de Ivan en la guerra da pie a que Julia y Kike se acerquen. Un dia, Ivan subitamente reaparece y se lleva a Julia a Nueva York, dejando a Kike humillado y resentido. Muchos anos mas tarde, a Ivan le diagnostican un cancer terminal y decide regresar con Julia a morir a su isla. Julia lo ayuda a integrarse a la vida cotidiana de Culebra, hasta el punto en que Ivan decide comprarse un botecito. Asi se encuentra con el Cayo, una islita cerca de Culebra y alli Ivan se nutre del poder vital de la naturaleza. Poco a poco la isla va teniendo un efecto terapeutico sobre el. Cuando las autoridades federales tratan de prohibirle el uso del Cayo, se encuentran con una comunidad dispuesta a defender el derecho de Ivan, y el suyo propio, al uso de la islita.
