Florida in 1929 - Cuban immigrant family runs a cigar factory maintaining their traditions of hand rolling and employing a lector to read to the workers. 
The family dynamics were a rich tapestry- especially between the owner and his brother and the owner and his wife. 
The interview with Jimmy Smits at the end was a great addition.
