In 1987, Argentine musician Fito Páez visited Cuba for the first time, invited by Pablo Milanés. His presence at a music festival shook the island, to which he'd return many times; he'd also drink from their tropical sounds. Sitting at the terrace of a traditional hotel in Havana, Fito sums up his story with Cuba, its musicians, its people, and also its contradictions.

Fito's Havana was directed by Juan Francisco Vilar Hernandez, and produced by Ricardo Figueredo Oliva and Diana Reyes.
