IMDB

By the train tracks in Old Havana, 87-year-old Manuel brews an aphrodisiac juice called Pru. From the inside of his shop and in between encounters with his thirsty customers, Manuel recounts the bittersweet 'loves' that have defined his life. It's a character-driven, personal yet universal exploration of love and loss.
