Lucía is an anthology film that tells the stories of three Lucías, one in 1895, when the Cubans fought for independence from the Spaniards; other in 1933, when Cuban popular resistance against the dictator Geraldo Machado resulted in failure; and the third in 196-, in the aftermath of the victory of the revolution led by Fidel Castro.
They are women from three different classes, and each story is hung on a love drama. In the first, the woman has an affair with a Spanish soldier. In the second, a young woman abandons her family and class to go underground with her soon-to-be-slain husband; in the third, a young wife learns how to read and write and work in collective agriculture.
