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