Akin is a dedicated Cuban doctor working in Brazil for the Mais Medicos/More Doctors programme in 2018.

With the election of Jair Bolsonaro, the cooperation between the two countries ends abruptly. He must make a decision: return to Cuba and abandon the relationships he has been cultivating or stay and reinvent himself without being able to practice medicine.
