An impressive period drama based on a true story. The year is 1810. Enrique Faber, a Swiss surgeon, lands in Cuba in search of his son.
During the search and investigation, he opened a private clinic to treat the slaves and the black community. His success as a doctor and his marriage to Faria, one of the most beautiful women in the village who had previously refused to marry many other men and was even accused of being a witch, engendered extremely severe jealousy among the other men in the area. But Enrique has a secret that could cost him his life.
“Defiant Souls” is reminiscent in its quality of the period film productions of the past. It tells an important story about people who fought to live in a time when the term LGBT didn’t even exist. The French actress Sylvie Testud (recipient of two Cesar awards), impresses in the lead role.
