Dr. Malcolm Sayer is a shy research physician who uses an experimental drug to "awaken" the catatonic victims of a rare disease. Leonard is the first patient to receive the controversial treatment. His awakening, filled with awe and enthusiasm, proves a rebirth for Sayer, too, as the exuberant patient reveals life's simple, but unutterably sweet, pleasures to the introverted doctor. Encouraged by Leonard's stunning recovery, Sayer administers the drug to the other patients. The story of their friendship during this emotional journey is a testament to both the tenderness of the human heart and the strength of the human soul.

8. TropiCola [videorecording]. [1997]

- Description
- Video — 1 videocassette (95 min.) : sd., col. with b&w sequences ; 1/2 in.
- Summary
-
"Tropicola" is a provocative glimpse of what it means to be Cuban. Mixing succulent monologues, hard U.S. currency, a touch of Orisha and, of course, the musica, director Steve Fagin creates a steamy telenovela--syncopated by the sounds of contemporary salsa, and charged with reflections on cultural identity. Portrayed by a cast of sultry Cuban actors, this work conveys the passions and pitfalls of life in present-day Havana as the characters try to reconcile their political beliefs with their individual desires. Shot on location, "Tropicola" breaks through the U.S. embargo on clarity and understanding.

- Los Angeles, Calif. : Public Media Home Vision, [1999?]

- Summary
-
A rich old man suffers from amnesia and paralysis caused by an auto accident. Confined to a wheelchair, he is forced by his seemingly respectable family to relive painful incidents from the past. Gradually we learn that his greedy relatives are staging these grotesque dramas in a heartless attempt to jolt him into remembering the number of his Swiss bank account. A complex, darkly humorous, surrealistic portrait of the frustration caused by helplessness, it also touches on the subjects of selfishness, corruption, and the stifling repression of Spanish fascism.
