Café con Leche is an introspective, documentary-style look at the shared experiences of young Cuban-Americans who grew up in Miami. These young, local professionals are the grown children of the first wave of Cuban exiles to come to America. In Café con Leche, they talk articulately about the importance of preserving their cultural identity; an awareness which has survived time, distance and assimilation.

The 17 young "Generation ñers," as they are called, comment on their experiences growing up bi-culturally: functionally American, but spiritually Cuban. For many of them, Miami is the closest they have come to Cuba, yet the tension between preserving the traditions of a lost homeland and forging a new, "American" identity still exists.

Says Joe Cardona, director of Café con Leche and the acclaimed ¿Adios Patria?, "Our generation is part of a lost tribe looking for home. And home is right under our noses."

Bill Teck, the 30-year-old publisher of the magazine "Generation ñ" and one of the people featured in the film, agrees. "Going to Cuba would be a great shock. The Cuba I know is on Northwest Seventh Street, in a strip mall."

Café con Leche, subtitled in English or Spanish where appropriate, raises questions about identity, the role of tradition, and what the idea of "home" really means. As such, the program addresses issues that are not unique to one particular immigrant community, but that confront all Americans as the face of our country changes.
