Strawberry and Chocolate


Strawberry and Chocolate Spanish Fresa y chocolate is an internationally coproduced film, directed by Toms Gutirrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabo, based on the short story The Wolf, The Forest and the New Man in Spanish, El Lobo, el bosque y el hombre nuevo written by Senel Paz in 1990. Senel Paz also wrote the screenplay for the film.
