It seems to be a journey to freedom that 937 Jews take up in May 1939. They had been "allowed" to leave Germany, they should at least temporarily be admitted to Cuba, which had worked for other refugees before. There is great hope - even though the shipping company had asked them to pay the last penny, even though the occupation has already been infiltrated by numerous Nazis. But the joyful courage gives way to a frightening realization: Cuba no longer lets anyone in the country.
