Based on a true story, PAPA follows journalist Ed Myers (Giovanni Ribisi) on his adventures to Cuba in the late 1950's after Myers' childhood idol, the legendary Ernest Hemingway, responds to his fan letter. Hidden away at a private estate with his wife Mary, the elusive author mentors Myers in fishing, drinking, and finding his voice, while the Cuban Revolution boils around them. In this turbulent landscape, beholding an icon in his declining years, Myers discovers his strength, while recognizing that all of our heroes are human.

Filmed in Cuba at the original story locations, including the Hemingway home which is currently maintained as a national museum
