Dear First Love

Danae's life in poverty-struck Havana has left her numb and searching, so she vanishes back to the fields of her adolescence where memory still clings to the soil. She goes looking for Tierra Fortuna Munda, the campesino girl who was her first true love, and finds the countryside alive with small miracles, old tenderness, and the careful dangers of surviving under a watchful state. As their connection rekindles, love becomes a quiet, stubborn force that heals and unsettles, forcing choices about family, loyalty, and what it means to come home. Returning to Havana together tests everything they thought they knew and asks whether a love born in youth can endure the pressures of adulthood and politics.
~ Included for centering a queer first love against political and familial pressures, offering a lyrical, resilient portrait of memory, healing, and the costs of coming home ~
