Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Indeed, the park and ice cream shop attract people from all backgrounds including soldiers, government officials, students, and black marketers (jineteros). Historically, a small population of gay people has also found refuge there (Scarpaci). For these reasons, director Tomás Gutierrez Alea chose Coppelia as the site of his 1993 Oscar-nominated film Fresa y Chocolate (Strawberry and Chocolate). In the film, two characters who are opposite both socially and politically reconcile their differences (Stout). The image below is a still from a scene in the movie that was filmed at Coppelia.
