Los Hermanos/The Brothers

Ilmar and Aldo López-Gavilán are virtuoso musicians born in Havana. Ilmar left for Moscow at 14, sent by the Cuban government to study classical violin, while Aldo grew up mentored by Cuba's august jazz and classical pianists. After 30 years, a thaw in US-Cuba relations offers the brothers the chance for a U.S. concert tour together, but shifting political winds threaten their momentum.
