TOMATOMETER
...A triumphant success....A funny and compassionate plea for tolerance...
Rolling Stone
...[A] triumphant seriocomic tale of sex and politics....A warm, funny, wise heart-tugger...
Los Angeles Times
...[An] unintimidating charmer...
USA Today
...A breezy charmer....[A] sense of luxurious romantic doom set against a candy-colored backdrop...
New York Times
...The movie has real strength and charms, especially in the way it leads us to expect a romance, and then gives us a character whose very existence is a criticism of his society...
Chicago Sun-Times
...Mr. Perugorria is especially good....A delightful humane film about people who love in spite of politics...
New York Times
...A gem....It's a provocative but very humane comedy about sexual opposites....[With] good humor and wit...

Product Description:
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.
