Nicolás Guillán Landrián was one of the most pioneering Cuban filmmakers in the 60s and 70s. However, his work was subject to censorship, and he was condemned to ostracism. His imprisonment and the involuntary psychiatric detentions which ruled his life marked an awful fate shared by his own films, which were kept away from the audience and from critics for decades.
