L'action se déroule à La Havane, dans le nouveau quartier de Miraflores, construit en 1962 pour reloger les habitants d'un bidonville, connu sous le nom des Yaguas. Une jeune institutrice, Yolanda, doit faire face aux problèmes posés par la mentalité et les réticences d'une population jusque-là habituée à vivre dans la marginalité. Elle est aussi amoureuse de Mario, qui fut, un temps, aspirant d'une société secrète et qui, désormais, se construit une nouvelle personnalité dans les brigades révolutionnaires. Au travail, les convictions idéologiques de Mario entrent en conflit avec les comportements de son meilleur ami, Humberto, plutôt hésitant et absentéiste. « Ce conflit, en milieu ouvrier, entre une nouvelle éthique qui se cherche et les anciens modèles culturels est aggravé chez Mario par un autre qui l'oppose à Yolanda, son amie et qui relève, celui-là, du machisme.

Sergio, a wealthy bourgeois aspiring writer, decides to stay in Cuba even though his wife and friends flee to Miami. Sergio looks back over the changes in Cuba, from the Cuban Revolution to the missile crisis, the effect of living in an underdeveloped country, and his relations with his girlfriends Elena and Hanna. Memories of Underdevelopment is a complex character study of alienation during the turmoil of social changes. The film is told in a highly subjective point of view through a fragmented narrative that resembles the way memories function. Throughout the film, Sergio narrates action, and at times is used as a tool to present bits of political information about the climate in Cuba at the time. In several instances, real-life documentary footage of protests and political events are incorporated into the film and played over Sergio’s narration to expose the audience to the reality of the Revolution. The timeframe of the film is somewhat ambiguous, but it appears to take place over a few months.

Oscar, scénariste, et Arturo, cinéaste, envisagent de réaliser ensemble un film de fiction sur la persistance du machisme à Cuba. Ils choisissent comme terrain de leurs observations le milieu des dockers du port de La Havane. Leur objectif est de mettre en relief le décalage entre la conscience politique et l'attitude réelle des hommes à l'égard des femmes. Au cours de son enquête, Oscar s'éprend d'une employée, Lina, jeune fille-mère, cultivant avec fierté son autonomie. Le ménage d'Oscar se trouve alors menacé. Un autre conflit apparaît entre Oscar et Arturo au sujet du film. Leur projet commun finit par échouer en raison de divergences de conception. De son côté, Lina, en femme libérée, dénonce l'attitude contradictoire d'Oscar, prisonnier de certains comportements qu'il croyait pouvoir critiquer chez les autres. Elle décide, en définitive, de retourner dans sa ville natale, Santiago de Cuba, où elle peut espérer une ascension professionnelle.
