Insoumises

In 1819, the Swiss surgeon Enrique Faber moved to Baracoa, where he marries the beautiful Juana and befriends his black servant. Little by little, rumours begin to spread: Enrique might be a woman. Thus begins one of the most scandalous lawsuits of Cuba’s colonial history… Laura Cazador and Fernando Pérez Valdés tell the true tale of Lausanne’s Henriette Favez, a free and rebellious woman, brilliantly portrayed by Sylvie Testud.
