The year is 1820, and trade between Cuba and Catalonia is a booming business, although the goods that arrive to Cuba are not always the products that were shipped, in some cases, they simply arrive "lumps" or "coal". As it appears in the logbooks of the ships. 'Havanera 1820' is a film that tells stories of love and adventure in a time when Cuba confronts the Spanish colonizers.
This film is based on the true story of the Catalan lawyer and engineer Narcís Monturiol i Estarriol (Figueres 1819 - Barcelona 1885) who invented the submarine.
