gay man, falls in love with a young
communist full of prejudices and
doctrinal ideas. First comes rejection
and suspicion, but also fascination.
Fresa y Chocolate is a coming-of-age
story, told through the development of a
great friendship, which overcomes
incomprehension and intolerance.”Released in 1993 this was the first major film from Cuba to address themes of homosexuality- and in 1995 became the first Cuban film to receive widespread release in the USA since the Revolution.
