Company Man

In 1950s Cuba, a lonely and ambitious American businessman, Alan, is eager to impress his superiors and secure a promotion. To do so, he becomes entangled in a bizarre and escalating series of events involving espionage, infidelity, and a local revolutionary who seems to know more than he should. As Alan tries to navigate the complex political climate and his own personal life, his actions lead to increasingly absurd and dangerous consequences.
