Primary
The film uses the Cuban Revolution as a dramatic backdrop for a romance, focusing on the personal impact of political upheaval and class differences rather than endorsing a specific political ideology or solution. Its primary message centers on individual connection and passion.
The movie features a diverse cast that naturally reflects its Cuban setting, with a white American female lead and a Cuban male lead, which is organic to the story rather than an explicit DEI-driven casting choice. The narrative subtly addresses themes of American privilege and class differences without explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively.
