Description
Description
In 1979 Cuba, flamboyant gay artist Diego attempts to seduce the straight and strait-laced David, an idealistic young communist, and fails dismally. But David conspires to be “friends” with Diego so he can monitor the artist’s subversive life for the state. As Diego and David discuss politics, individuality and personal expression in Castro’s Cuba, a genuine friendship develops between the two. Can it last in such an oppressive environment?
