- Summary:
- Lucia (1968): Traces episodes in the lives of three Cuban women, each named Lucía, from three different historical periods: the Cuban war of independence (with Spain), the 1930s, and the 1960s.
- After the curfew (1954): A hero of revolution returns to civilian life to find the new society very different from the ideals he fought for.
- Pixote (1980): With a blend of harsh realism and aching humanity, Pixote offers an electrifying look at youth fighting to survive on the bottom rung of Brazilian society, and a stinging indictment of the country's military dictatorship and police.
- Dos monjes (1934): When an ailing monk recognizes a new brother at his cloister, he becomes deranged and attacks him. Dos Monjes recounts the men's tragic shared past onced from the point of view of each, heightening the contrasts between the two accounts with visual flourishes drawn from the language of German expressionism, including camera work by avant-garde photographer Agustin Jiminez.
- Soleil Ô (1970): Soleil Ô follows a starry-eyed immigrant as he leaves West Africa and journeys to Paris in search of a job, a community, and intellectual engagement- but soon discovers a hostile society where his very presence engenders fear and resentment.
- Downpour (1972): When he takes a job as a schoolteacher in a new neighborhood, the hapless intellectual Mr. Hekmati finds that he is a fish out of water.
