In 1939, 937 Jewish Germans were offered safe haven in Havana, Cuba. They departed Hamburg in high spirits, looking forward to their new life. However, after being denied access to Cuba, will the refugees find a new home or be forced to head back to Europe? Based on a true story.
"Mayo de 1939. Un transatlántico zarpa de Hamburgo rumbo a La Habana con casi un millar de judíos que huyen del régimen nazi. Todo forma parte de un corrupto plan y al llegar, la entrada les es denegada y han de retornar al punto de partida."@es

"937 judíos alemanes parten del puerto de Hamburgo con destino La Habana. Allí les aseguran un refugio seguro, lejos del horror nazi. Esperanzados, los viajeros sienten una enorme ilusión al vislumbrar sus nuevas vidas. Pero una vez llegan al puerto cubano las autoridades no les permiten desembarcar: todo el viaje resulta ser un plan propagandístico nazi..."@es

"Departing Hamburg in high spirits, 937 Jewish Germans have been offered safe haven in Havana, Cuba, in 1939. The passengers are looking forward to their new life. However, the whole voyage is actually a Nazi propaganda scheme and the passengers are never really intended to be allowed ashore once they reach their destination. After weeks of unsuccessful pleas they are forced to return back to Europe. Based on the tragic 1939 voyage of the SS St. Louis."

"This feature film chronicles an incident from World War II. Hitler permitted 937 Jews to buy passage out of Germany in 1939, to be relocated in Cuba. The film involves the sagas of many of the passengers on the ship, the St. Louis."
"After being offered safe haven in Cuba in 1939, 937 German Jews depart Hamburg hopefully only to be denied entrance into Cuba and forced to turn back to Europe."@en
""This was not your standard passenger list. Some were concentration camp victims. Others just wanted to join relatives in Cuba. Some were wealthy enough to afford the voyage. Most left everything behind in the hope they could escape German terror. The passengers are unaware that the voyage is a sham, simply one of Goebbels propaganda exercises. This ship will not be able to dock in Havana and, when the rest of the world turns the ship away, the Jews will have to return to Germany. Just as hope has all but vanished, the passengers receive word that some European countries may take them in. Come what may, the passengers resolve not to return to the camps"--Videocassette sleeve."
