Plot
A costly adaptation of a Cuban novel.
Sinekatalog’s take
Humberto Solás's costly adaptation of Cirilo Villaverde's Cuban novel follows a mulatta's doomed love in the nineteenth century. Lavish and ambitious, it is a handsome but sprawling historical film that disappointed many.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
