The nationalization of the banks by Fidel Castro’s government in Cuba brought many concerns to both the counter-revolutionaries who left the country and the ordinary workers who were called upon to run these institutions. Garcia, sent by the former owners of the bank to Roberto, its manager, persuades him to help break into the bank building to steal the checks of the American-Cuban bank. Roberto hesitates: on the one hand, the former owners made him, once a mere accountant manager, but on the other hand, he cannot go against the people. He must help the worker Maximo, appointed commissioner of the bank by the revolutionary government, to understand all the details of the matter. Maximo trusts him, consulting him in everything. close

The story of Cecilia is a story of the society that dominated 19th-century Cuba, a society divided between whites, blacks, and those who were mixed, the mulattos.

At any rate, the drama about the life and loves of Cecilia (Daisy Granados) takes place against the backdrop of graphically violent mistreatment of slaves and the rumors of a slave rebellion after the Cubans hear of slaves turning against their captors in Haiti. close
