La historia de Reina es la lucha desgarradora que, a veces, tiene lugar entre lo que queremos ser y lo que nos vemos obligados a ser. Reina es una anciana que vive acompañada por su perro, llamado Rey, su única alegría. Un día regresan de Miami los antiguos dueños de la casa que habitan Reina y Rey.
Reina is an old and lonely widow whose only companion is a little black dog called Rey. When the dog disappears, Reina begins to question her own existence. Suddenly, her old patrons (who had left Cuba twenty years ago) return from Miami to stay for a week and convince her to go with them. After spending some time together, Reina discovers that her usual, lonely life is better than anything else and decides to stay in Cuba.
