NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA

Narrators Kyla Garcia and Frankie Maria Corzo tag-team a story that spans generations, with the flavors of Cuban food and culture saturating the shared narrative. As Marisol Ferrera travels to Cuba in order to lay her grandmother, Elisa Perez's, ashes to rest, she is introduced to secrets that ensure she won't be able to leave until she uncovers truths her grandmother buried. Taking Elisa's perspective, Garcia portrays a gently bred Cuban socialite who falls in love with a revolutionary in the shadow of Fidel Castro's rise to power. From Marisol's perspective, Corzo describes genuine appreciation for the country of her roots, and for a man she's falling in love with too quickly to be safe for her continued stay.
