Documentary on Alicia Alonso, considered by many critics to be the prima ballerina among all the great contemporary ballerinas. Alicia discusses her history in ballet, we glimpse her early life and see her dancing in "Giselle", "The Black Swan", the "Grand Pas de Quatre", and "Carmen". We experience her triumph over blindness, the acclaim she has received from audiences worldwide and, above all, her continuing artistry and exhilarating verve.

In Asamblea general (1960), the documentary about Fidel's address of the First Declaration of Havana in the Plaza of the Revolution, Alea practises what becomes a sustaining Cuban contribution to documentary.
