Strawberry & Chocolate: Fresa y chocolate
(Cuba)
Rated M
Romantic comedy
In 1979 Cuba, flamboyant gay artist Diego (Jorge Perugorría) attempts to seduce the straight and strait-laced David (Vladimir Cruz), an idealistic young communist, and fails dismally. But David conspires to be "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. Can it last in such an oppressive environment?
David es un comunista cubano simpatizante de Castro que estudia sociología en La Habana. Un día conoce a Diego, un artista homosexual acosado por la homofobia del régimen. A pesar de las grandes diferencias que los separan, entre los dos surge una profunda amistad.
