Show Info | Tampa, Florida, 1929. In a Cuban–American cigar factory, where cigars are still rolled by hand and “lectors” are employed to educate and entertain the workers, the arrival of a new lector is cause for celebration. But when he begins to read aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics, and the American dream prove a volatile combination. |
