Product Description

Considered one of Cuba's most controversial films ever, this award-winning classic from Humberto Solás takes place in 1830s Cuba. The son of a rich colonial family falls in love with a proud, beautiful but poor mulatto girl, but the young man's father wants to force him into marrying a woman from his own social standing.

Nominated for the Golden Palm at Cannes (1982), Cecilia is part of The Cuban Masterworks Collection. Beautifully restored, the five films in the Collection reveal a unique perspective of Cuba. Directed by legendary filmmakers, each is a worthy addition to the canon of great world cinema.
