Queer Cinema

Ceschi and Stamm’s documentary tells the incredible story of Monika Krause, a former East German citizen, who became Fidel Castro's (Sexual) Education Minister. After 20 years in Cuba, Krause set the Cuban sexual revolution in motion: in favor of a woman’s right to sexual fulfilment and legal abortion, and against exclusion of homosexuals, she acquired the title “Queen of Condoms”. A film about potent female agitators, staunch machos and Caribbean love lives.
