"Strawberry & Chocolate"
1993
Directed by Tomas Gutierrez-Alea

A sensation from Cuba in which a chance encounter over  ice cream between a middle-aged gay man and a young, fervent believer in contemporary Cuban Marxism sets the stage for a funny but serious film about difference and acceptance. Their friendship develops despite official intolerance of homosexuality and it soon withstands that short-sighted policy. This film broke box office attendance records in Cuba and achieved world-wide acclaim. Spanish with English subtitles. 104 minutes.
