Synopsis
Two Homelands Cuba and the Night is an extraordinary documentary about love, poetry and forbidden desire in Castro’s Cuba.

The Cuban government has admitted having made mistakes in the past regarding its treatment of gays and lesbians. But even though the government claims to have undertaken a more liberal way of dealing with the issue, social discrimination and police harassment are still an everyday fact of life for gays. Two Cuban Homelands focuses on six gay men and explores how they live, how they love and how in ways, both large and small, they cope with life under Castro’s regime and somehow emerge dignified and resilient.
