Set in 1960s Cuba following the revolution, Pura Vida is the story of the quest of Santino Garcia Reyes, an ordinary customs worker, who leaves the island of Cuba to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom on the island of Costa Rica. On his journey, Santino encounters a chess master who schools him in the lessons of patience, a migrant coffee worker who teaches him how to enjoy the simple things in life, a successful coffee merchant who instructs him in the art of making money, and most importantly a woman who enlightens him on how to live a heart-centered life. Traveling among these people and experiencing life's vital passages-love, work, friendship, and becoming a father to the entire island of Costa Rica-Santino discovers that true wisdom is obtained from within.
