Lucía
Lucía is a 1968 Cuban black-and-white drama film directed by Humberto Solás, and written by Solás, Julio García Espinosa and Nelson Rodríguez. It was the winner of the Golden Prize and the Prix FIPRESCI at the 6th Moscow International Film Festival in 1969.
The film is a period piece, told in three stories in different moments of Cuban history (the Cuban war of independence, the 1930s during the regime of Gerardo Machado and the 1960s), all as seen through the eyes of a different woman, each named Lucía.
Lucia was digitally restored by the Cineteca di Bologna with funding from World Cinema Project and Turner Classic Movies and later screened at the Cannes Classics section of the 70th Cannes Film Festival in May 2017. The restored version also screened at the 55th New York Film Festival in the revivals section.
The wealthy Lucía Fidelina lives with her mother in Havana. One day, she is comes across Rafael at church and the two gradually begin a relationship. Lucía's brother, Felipe, is a guerilla fighter in the Cuban war of independence, hiding out at a coffee plantation. When her brother visits for one night, Lucía informs him of her happiness.
But she is heartbroken when, later, she receives a letter from Rafael's wife in Spain. Meeting with her later, Rafael confesses that though he has a wife and son in Spain, he is solely in love with her, and they make love secretly in a refinery. Wishing to run away from the city, Rafael suggests the coffee plantation her brother is hidden at, and she reveals its location to Rafael. A beggar woman who has been frequently harassed by the city's populace warns her to not go with Rafael, but is brushed off.
Later, a full-scale assault is led on the plantation. Lucía is present and when Rafael spots her, he rides away. The casualties from the battle include her brother, Felipe, and Lucía returns to the city. Finding Rafael with a group of officers in the city plaza, she stabs him to death and is comforted by the beggar woman.
Lucía Nuñez and her mother are sent by her father to a house in the Keys to escape riots in Cienfuegos. Lucía is bored in the Keys and generally annoyed with the pettiness of her mother. One night, she spots a group helping an injured man. She later meets the injured man, Aldo, a member of the ABC, and begins to fall in love.
Lucía and her mother return to Cuba, where she reunites with Aldo, and they begin dating. She begins working to support his revolutionary activities, and writes anti-Machado slogans with a coworker in their workplace bathroom. Aldo and his two revolutionary friends assassinate several drunken soldiers in a theater, meanwhile an anti-Machado protest Lucía and Flora take part in is violently broken up by police.
