The first Cuban feature film directed by a woman and the last directed by Sara Gómez. Shot in the early 1970s in an outlying neighborhood of Havana, the movie is more of a docudrama than a fiction film, combining elements of educational, ethnographic and investigative cinema. The movie revolves around the love story between Yolanda and Mario, who come from different socio-economic backgrounds and meet during the height of the transformations triggered by the Cuban Revolution. Standards of living – work, housing, nutrition and education – were just a few of the complex issues the new regime had to deal with. Gómez explores the dismantling of a racist, sexist and “underdeveloped” colonial society as a necessary condition for making a new reality.
(Sara Gomez, Cuba, Spanish w/ Eng. Sub, 78 min., 1977, DCP)
