Transit Havana (2016)

1h 30m 2016 Cuba, Germany, Netherlands

*Transit Havana* offers a rare, intimate lens into a historic moment where state socialism meets a sexual revolution. Following three trans women awaiting surgery, the film balances hope with harsh reality—intolerance, poverty, and survival sex work lurking beneath the promise of change. It’s not a clinical documentary but a deeply human story about waiting, longing, and resilience. Perfect for viewers seeking nuanced, character-driven social portraits, this film challenges easy narratives without losing its emotional core. You’ll root for Odette, Juani, and Malú as they navigate a system that both liberates and constrains them.
