The young talented girl Anya, dreaming of a ballet, enters the choreographic school. Due to poor health, learning for her becomes unbearably difficult, but dreams of a ballerina career make her stubbornly deal with adversity. Anna’s performance and determination does not go unnoticed by the celebrated choreographer Marius Petipa, who helps to stage Pavlova's examination performance.

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. (Since the Spanish conquistadors killed off the Indian population in Cuba not long after they took over the island, there are no mestizos, or those of mixed-Indian blood in Cuba as in other Caribbean nations.) 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

In his award-winning film Lucía, Humberto Solás interpreted the theme of Cuba’s hundred years' struggle in an entirely novel way to create an epic in three separate episodes, each centred around a woman called Lucía and each unfolding in a different period of Cuban history, corresponding to the three stages of colonialism (1895), neocolonialism (1930) and socialist revolution (1968). The three episodes also present us with "Lucías" of different social classes. Solás described his film in this way: "The woman's role always lays bare the contradictions of a period and makes them explicit: Lucía is not a film about women, it's a film about society." close

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
