The film revolves around the titular kinkajou named Vivo, who became friends with a local Havana aged musician named Andres and spends their days together playing music. In the trailer, we have seen that Vivo came to know about the regret of Andres never expressing his love to her former musical partner.

Andres was invited by the famous singer Marta Sandoval, her former musical partner to her farewell concert in Miami, Florida. The night before he is supposed to depart has unfortunately died.
