Julia, a Cuban-American, visits Cuba for the first time to collect the ashes of her recently-deceased grandmother. While there, she meets three Cuban contemporaries, Olivia, Carlos and Miguel, and comes face-to-face with the life she could have lived had her father not been sent as a boy to Miami during “Operation Peter Pan.”

 

While sheltering in place during an unprovoked military attack on Havana, “Operation Coyote,” the four are forced to confront their own prejudices and misconceptions about each other and each other’s countries. Havana Coyotes explores the disparate ways we can all be “coyotes” in our relationships with others.
