Havana, Cuba

Where can I see it?

In the tragicomic short film Havana, Cuba, an ever-quiet taxi driver meets five different people over the course of one night during Christmas Holidays.

An abused runaway wife, a failed actor dressed as Santa Claus, an impossible love story of a lower class young man and two young teenagers making love in the back seat, all come together in this exotic farce of absurd proportions.

A story of loneliness and the ways in which it subtly affects individuals bringing them on the brink of hysteria, Havana, Cuba explores the broader concept of being alone in a crowded world, while never forgetting the humor and the essential love for whatever makes us human.
