Before Night Falls (2000) is an episodic biographical drama that explores the life of renowned Cuban poet and novelist, Reinaldo Arenas. The film traces his journey from his humble beginnings in Oriente province to his ultimate demise in New York City.
Set against the backdrop of Castro's regime, Arenas becomes actively involved with the rebels. In Havana, he encounters Pepe, a wealthy individual who becomes his first love. Their relationship is marked by a complex mixture of affection and animosity, and their bond endures for several years. Arenas chooses to embrace his homosexuality openly as a form of rebellion against the oppressive government.
Arenas' writing and sexual orientation soon land him in trouble, leading to a two-year imprisonment. Despite his confinement, he continues his literary pursuits by writing letters for fellow inmates and smuggling out a novel. In prison, he forges a deep friendship with Lázaro Gomes Garriles.
