About
Spanning several decades, this powerful biopic offers a glimpse into the life of famed Cuban poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas, an artist who was vilified for his homosexuality in Fidel Castro's Cuba.
Reinaldo Arenas fights to preserve his poetic voice while navigating the suffocating repression of Castro’s Cuba. His relentless pursuit of freedom and identity turns a life of exile into a defiant act of survival.
