This acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film set in Cuba follows the unlikely friendship between David (Vladimir Cruz), an uptight conservative, and Diego (Jorge Perrugoria), his flamboyantly gay neighbor. At first David balks at Diego`s anti-Castro leanings (which have grown especially strong in light of the government`s suppression of homosexuality). However, David soon finds irresistible Diego`s access to American contraband (magazines, alcohol, etc.), and with the help of a vivacious neighbor, they negotiate their disappointments and ultimately find the pleasures of life. Combining drama with a bit of humor, this film provides a light, but realistic look at the Cuban Revolution, government persecution of marginalized groups, and the tendency of human kindness to overcome hardship.
