With actor Jorge Perugorría in person

Cuba. Dir Tomás Gutierrez Alea, Juan Carlos Tabio. 1993, 110 mins. With Jorge Perugorría, Vladimir Cruz, Mirta Ibarra. In this boundary-pushing, award-winning feature, Diego, a cultivated, openly gay man, falls in love with David, a young heterosexual Communist, full of prejudice and dogma. David falls in love with Nancy who is overcoming the effects of a suicide attempt; her relationship with both men gives her life new meaning. What begins for David as repulsion towards Diego turns into friendship, a friendship surpassing ignorance and homophobia. The film’s release helped to open the discussion about LGBT rights in Cuba and beyond.
