About Una novia para David
The story of students of a high school in Havana in the 60's, where love, politics, and moral contradictions appeared. A shy country boy gets caught between the peer pressure of his buddies and his love for an overweight, strong willed but likable girl.
Directed by Orlando Rojas, Una novia para David leans on a strong ensemble — Francisco Gattorno, María Isabel Díaz Lago, Edith Margarita Massola Mederos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1987.
