- Cuban director Humberto Solas's award-winning film set during that country's drive to abolish slavery in the 1830's. Raised by her mother and grandmother as a courtesan within the ruling white establishment, pale-skinned Cecilia (Daisy Granados) soon catches the eye of estate owner's son Leonardo (Imanol Arias).
