Humberto Solas - Lucia

“The finest film to come out of Cuba in the '60s” Time Out

Made in Cuba, Lucia, tells three stories of three periods of Cuban history, from the vantage point of three women, each called Lucia. Directed by the world famous Humberto Solas (Manuela, Simparele) this tri-partite feature melds Cuban revolutionary fervour with feminist and social politics and was the film that catapulted Solas into the international spotlight.

Focusing on the plight of women from different classes in Cuba’s history, Lucia is a pioneering piece of Latin American cinema that highlights the plight and contribution of women in Cuba’s revolutionary history.
