Three stories of three women named Lucía in three periods of Cuban history. In 1895 an aristocratic woman falls for a man during the war of independence against Spain and tells him where her brother is hiding; the place is attacked, her brother dies and she kills the man. In 1932 a middle-class daughter joins a lover who is fighting the Machado government, and is left disillusioned after his death. In the 1960s, after the Cuban Revolution, a farmworker marries a jealous truck driver who locks her in the house, and when a literacy campaign teacher arrives she stands up to him. It was Solás's first feature and won the Golden Prize and the FIPRESCI prize at Moscow in 1969.
