Fin de Siglo plot

'Fin de Siglo' (End of the Century) is a large department store in the Cuban capital Havana. In its poverty it reflects the deplorable state of Cuban society. Although the building is several stories high, there is almost nothing for sale. For example, there are floors where only married couples or model workers can buy. They can use extra vouchers, for example, to choose a pair of shoes and a towel. The salespeople are well instructed, despite the scarcity they have to ensure that the customer goes home satisfied. Some of them cheerfully accept this almost impossible task as their part in Castro's revolution and are even willing to work through the holidays.
