It Happened in Havana<br />
”Playing Swede“ is slang in Cuba for pretending not to know or playing the innocent one. And<br />
the <strong>German</strong> crook Björn is quite good at it. He goes incognito in the Cuban metropole as a<br />
Swedish professor of literature in order to dart the European police. Of all places, he finds an<br />
adoptive family in a retired policeman’s household. And on top of that, he falls in love with<br />
the daughter. But this doesn’t prevent him from going about his criminal ways. The local street<br />
gangsters suffer most of all, as Björn takes away their ”work“. When the police fail to catch<br />
him, Havana’s underground world takes it upon itself to hunt down the competition.<br />

Daniel Díaz Torres was born in 1948 in<br />
Havana, Cuba and is one of the most eminent<br />
directors in Cuba today. He studied Political<br />
Science at the University of Havana and has<br />
worked since 1968 at the Cuban film institute<br />
ICAIC as a directing assistant, critic and instructor.<br />
He is also chief editor of the ICAIC’s cinematic<br />
weekly publication. He presented his first<br />
film Jíbaro in 1985, but it was his third film<br />
Alicia en el pueblo de maravillas (1991)<br />
that brought him international recognition and<br />
the DAAD Artist’s Program scholarship in<br />
Berlin. Despite the political turbulence in<br />
his homeland, he is the only director in Cuba<br />
today who has been able to continue to direct<br />
his own films without having to accept commercial<br />
or ideological concessions. A selection of<br />
his films include: Libertad para Luis<br />
Corvalán (1975), Otra mujer (1986) and<br />
Little Tropikana (1997) among others.<br />
