FRESA Y CHOCOLATE / STRAWBERRY & CHOCOLATE
Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Juan Carlos TabÃo | Cuba-Mexico | Fiction | 1994 | 110 min
David and Diego's story is the search for a place where they can simply be who they are. David is a student of social sciences at the University of Havana, and Diego, a homosexual artist whose goal in life is to create and exalt Cuban culture. One opens up to the complexities of interpersonal relationships, and the other fights to be recognized and accepted. Prejudices, the need to communicate and the difficult situations lead us to conclude that solidarity between people is one of man's greatest inventions.
La historia de David y Diego es la historia de dos seres humanos en busca de un ámbito en el cual ser. El primero, estudiante de Ciencias Sociales en la Universidad de La Habana, el segundo, un homosexual que vive por y para exaltar la cultura cubana. Uno se abre al complejo mundo de las relaciones interpersonales, el otro lucha por ser reconocido y no discriminado por sus preferencias sexuales. Prejuicios y necesidad de comunicación; complejas situaciones que nos llevan a concluir que la solidaridad es uno de los mejores inventos del hombre.
