Synopsis

Masquerading as a Swedish literature professor in Cuba, a thief plots a spectacular jewel heist. He ends up with more than he bargained for when he falls for the daughter of a retired police officer and is practically adopted by her family. Immersed in the colorful sights and sounds of Havana, the seemingly innocent tourist must "play the Swede". But will his double life cost him the woman he loves? After swiping the treasure, he hurries to the airport to catch a flight out of the country with the former police officer hot on his trail. It's decision time. Which jewel should he choose: the one he's stolen or the one who's stolen his heart?
