This film in three episodes deals with colonialism and the patriarchy in Cuba. - In the first segment, a group of upper-class/petit bourgeois women gossip about the life of a homeless woman who is causing a scene, and how she became a grifter. 10 minutes into the film, it is said that she was a nun on a battlefield. The conversation then leads to talk of a brutalization of the nuns, which happens in a scene of multiple gang rape depictions. The homeless woman is further harassed by men about 30 minutes into the movie: one of them gropes her while a crowd dances around them to tease her. Later (about 40 minutes in), the love interest of the female protagonist becomes very insistent towards her: he fondles her, forcefully grabs and kisses her. She is in love with him but resists because she learned that he was married and father of a child. When he stops, she pursues him and they eventually reconcile. - The third segment is about a jealous and possessive husband who (literally) locks up his newlywed wife and forbids her to work outside. He brutally grabs and pushes her several times throughout and frequently gets in fight with other men because of his jealousy.
