Cecilia is a 1982 Cuban drama film directed by Humberto Solás. The film is based on the novel Cecilia Valdés by Cirilo Villaverde. It was entered into the 1982 Cannes Film Festival.
The film takes place in 19th-century Cuba. Cuban society is split over race, as there are deep divisions between the whites, their black slaves, and the mulattos, people of mixed race, that are caught in between. The story follows Cecilia (Daisy Granados), her experiences with love, and the beginnings of the Cuban slave rebellion.
