For the last 130 years, the “Old Lady” has always run on time. The Baldwin, an old American locomotive, shares an authentic loving relationship with the inhabitants of Barlome Maso, a small Cuban village. This heroine of the revolution has been forced to adapt to the whims of history. Today, she faces up to her country's current crisis. She will not abandon the sugar-cane cutters, runs constantly back and forth to bring the cane in from the country. The entire village of Bartolomo Maso depends on her.
