Synopsis

Three historical periods of Cuban struggle told through the lives of three different women all named Lucía: an 1895 aristocratic patriot in the War of Independence, a 1932 bourgeois student opposing the Machado dictatorship, and a 1960s rural newlywed fighting her husband's machismo. Humberto Solás' dazzling triptych landmark of revolutionary third-world cinema.
