The film tells the true life story of Alina Fernández-Revuelta, the product of a love affair between Castro and Cuban socialite Naty Revuelta . Alina went on to reject her father and his regime having secretly fled Cuba in the early 1990's disguised as a Spanish tourist.
Alina volunteered Banderas’ name as the ideal person to play the role.
The film is going for a similar vibe like "The King's Speech" but from a daughter's perspective as she "overcomes the everlasting effects of the grips of her father through self liberation".
Bobby Moresco and Pulitzer prize-winning author Nilo Cruz wrote the script.
John Martinez and Joe Lamy will produce the film
Production will take place in Puerto Rico.
