When young Italian man Fabio di Celmo arrived in Cuba, he was far from imagining that in that very moment, in a place a bit to the north of the same continent, a terrifying plot that would tragically involve him was being set up.

The hate and thirst for revenge of Cuban-American Mafia in the south of Florida had found a good sponsor for its plans to destroy the little rebel island.

Supported, financed and led by the United States government, a plan was contrived against the growing development of the tourist industry in Cuba, the island’s main income source alter the socialist system collapse. To carry out the operation, they chose “the veterans” in these tasks, with a long service history in the CIA’s files as terrorist acts executors in several countries of the world.

“When truth wakes up” shows the grounding of the operation which, perpetrated by Central-American mercenaries, caused several bomb explosions in some of Havana’s main hotels, one of which killed Fabio Di Celmo when he had decided to share his life and love with a sweet girl from Havana..

Based on a sad true store, recounted by its main protagonists.

An accusation against that other terrorism that “the lord of cannons” refuses to admit.
