ln 1895, the Cuban people revolted against Spain. ln |933 they revolted against a dictator. Then in thc Sixties came Fidel. Lucia is a different heroine in each of three moments in Cuba`s- liberation struggle. 'l`he first Lucia. more concerned with love than revolt, appears in a fiery and romantic setting. The second takes up with a young revolutionary through love and commitment. Her setting is one of violence. police clashes. and the lives of actual revolutionaries. The third Lucia has a bucolic setting of folksy humour and the Latin family traditions that persisted in the interior during the early days of Castro`s regime.
