The Sugar Curtain is a personal and autobiographic documentary, which reflects on what has been the Cuban Revolution through the eyes of those that were born and brought up within it. It is an intimate portrait of a generation that began their studies in primary school, when the Cuban regime was in its best economic moment (in the mid 70’s), and still maintained the energy of the early days.

El Telón de Azúcar es un documental personal y autobiográfico sobre la generación de cubanos que nacieron y se criaron en los años dorados de la Revolución. Es un retrato íntimo que intenta rescatar aquella realidad que tuvieron cuando niños y que explora qué pasó con esta generación de cubanos que, cuando llegó a la edad adulta, vio que todos sus ideales se vinieron abajo.
