Summary:

In 1959, Miami journalist and aspiring writer Ed Myers travels to Havana to meet his idol, Ernest Hemingway. A fascinating and unexpected friendship develops as the legendary author mentors young Myers in deep-sea fishing, drinking, and finding his literary voice, while the Cuban Revolution comes to a boil around them. The first U.S. movie filmed in Cuba in more than half a century, it offers an extraordinary glimpse into the life of a uniquely American icon.
