A surrealist story about three Cubans torn by inner conflicts, Life is to Whistle doubles as a metaphor for the uncertainty surrounding Cuban society in the twilight of Castro's reign. The film tells the stories of three end-of-the millennium Cubans, whose lives intersect on the Day of Santa Barbara. Mariana, a nymphomaniac ballerina, ponders breaking chastity vows she made to land the coveted role of Giselle; Julia has fainting spells each time she hears the word "sex," and Elpidio, a musician, seduces a gringa tourist while Bebe, the narrator, takes the viewers for a taxi ride along the streets of Havana.
