Up to a Certain Point (Spanish: Hasta cierto punto) is a 1983 Cuban movie directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea. It focuses on a theater director who starts up a relationship with a female dockworker. However, his machismo complicates matters.
The movie is a general look at gender roles in Cuba as well as the conflict between machismo and the idealized image of liberated women under communism.
