Isabel

Isabel stops playing her trumpet as a riot breaks out: she hears gunfire and people shouting about Fidel Castro. She runs to find her father and grandfather while people smash storefronts and steal items. She finds her grandfather and gives him her trumpet, determined to find her father. After climbing onto the hood of a car, she sees her father throw a bottle at a line of policemen. The policemen attack the crowd with batons and circle around her father. Isabel runs over and almost gets hit with a baton, but she is saved by a policeman—Iván’s older brother, Luis. The police are called away, but one of them threatens Isabel’s father before he leaves. Luis gives Isabel a look of warning: they must get her father out of Cuba that night.
