Get it. Strip it. Sell it.”
Finding himself stuck in the violent ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica, a sympathetic street hustler (Christopher “Johnny” Daley) devises a daring but not-so-clever plan to steal a fancy sports car, right under the owner’s nose, after which things rapidly go downhill until he gets to the bottom and begins to realize that he has to change in order to fulfill his dreams.

VIEW ON SCHEDULE
El Medico is a young Cuban doctor and musician trying to make a better life for his family. Michel is a European music producer seeking fame and fortune. Witness a fight between two minds: one who sees the music as an authentic expression of Cuban culture and history and the other, as a commercial product to be sold by any means necessary. Caught in this clash of views is also Coquita, the young dancer whose dreams are ruined because Michel thinks she is not sexy enough, and El Medico’s mother who believes her son is betraying the revolutionary ideals that she suffered for. El Medico realizes that being Michel’s product is not his dream, but he has to decide between doing his duty to the State as a doctor fulfilling his mothers dream, or being an artist.
