The first gay-themed film produced in Cuba by the Institute of Cinema since Strawberry & Chocolate in 1993. The theme, however, is the same as in Guttiérerez and Tabìo's film: homophobia, machismo and fear. The fatal attraction between Alfredo, a doctor in the merchant navy, and handsome Carlos starts in a rundown Havana bar and ends at the sailor's house. But Alfredo's flirting and seducing of Carlos immediately turns into something complicated, ambiguous, dangerous. In a claustrophobic, tense atmosphere, their bodies are powerfully attracted, and the words, though violent, intensify the level of sensuality. Does each man kill the thing he loves? Evoking dreamlike atmospheres and characters, 80-year-old veteran director Enrique Pineda Barnet openly references Fassbinder's Querelle and Jean Genet. Quite controversial in its approach, the films demonstrates the milder attitude of Raul Castro's regime towards Cuba's LGBT Community.

Oscar lives in a barren section of Almeria, Spain, where he works as a guard at a salt mine.

While he sometimes spends his evenings with a woman, it's clear their relationship is not a close one. One day, Oscar gets word that grandfather has been transferred to a hospital, and his sister Maria, who now lives in Paris, comes to Almeria to pay the old man a visit. Maria, who is expecting a baby, is accompanied by her boyfriend Jean , who tries to keep a distance between the two siblings. It becomes clear that Oscar and Maria share an ugly secret that she wants to keep hidden at all costs, leading to an grim tension that grows between her and her brother.

Havana, Cuba, 1979. Flamboyantly gay artist Diego (Jorge Perugorría) attempts to seduce the straight and strait-laced David, an idealistic young communist, and fails dismally. But David conspires to become friends with Diego so he can monitor the artist's subversive life for the state. As Diego and David discuss politics, individuality and personal expression in Castro's Cuba, a genuine friendship develops between the two. But can it last? Strawberry and Chocolate became an instant hit when it was released, and has become a classic of Cuban cinema due to its charming and authentic exploration of a connection between two people under historical circumstances that seem levelled against them.

루시아는 각각 다른 시대적 상황을 배경으로 여성해방의 문제를 그린 3부작 옴니버스 영화로, 주인공들의 이름이 모두 루시아다. 1부에서 라파엘을 죽인 루시아는 끌려가던 거리에서 “쿠바는 깨어나라”고 외치는 한 미친 여자에게서 위로를 받고, 2부에서 독재자 바티스타 정권에 넘어간 암울한 극적 분위기를 마무리하는 것은 카메라를 쳐다보는 루시아의 눈이며, 3부에서 혁명군에게 글을 배운 문맹의 루시아가 처음으로 쓴 문장은 “난 떠나요. 난 노예가 아니에요”다. 이렇듯 혁명 이전과 이후 해방의 분위기 속에서도 해방된 삶을 살고 있는 건지 의심스러운 여러 루시아들의 삶을 극적으로 그려내고 있다. 토마스 구티에레즈 알레아 감독과 더불어 현대 쿠바영화의 거장인 움베르토 솔라스 감독은 각 이야기의 시대와 주제에 따라 영화의 스타일을 달리했다. 1890년대의 이야기는 멜로드라마로, 1930년대에는 복고풍의 화면으로, 마지막 1960년대의 이야기는 가벼운 코미디로 그려냈다. 2시간 40분이라는 만만치 않은 상영시간 동안 그는 파노라마처럼 시대의 변화를 담아낸다. 그것을 결국 역사의 흐름이 ‘진보’쪽에 있었음을 능숙하게 설득시킨다. 1960년대 말의 쿠바영화가 고전기 할리우드 혹은 구소련 영화와 맞먹는 형식미를 보여주는 걸작이다.
