Women and Fidel

There are those who believe the revolution has made their lives better, and those who feel that the aging Castro regime weighs heavily. Through streets and countryside, visiting theatres, sports, dance and festivities, filmmakers discover Cuba, Fidel, and the joys and difficulties of daily life. Cuban women speak freely about their lives, hopes and how they see their country in the future - after Fidel.

The question they ask: what should we keep of the revolution? The film shows both the beauty and the decadence of Cuba - neither black nor white - but rather gray or rose depending on the day and the women.
