The Havana Chronicles

A trilogy of screen stories, each following Havana.

4 Kicks

Hot, steamy, innocence blown away by intense sudden and unexpected, extreme violence. A beautiful girl seeks to destroy her family and everyone around her.

Things are awfully slow on the US Air Force base in the hot, sultry South of Europe, long forgotten guardians of the continent. It’s too slow for Havana, a girl on the cusp of being a woman.

Her friends Tony and James who find themselves hanging around each other, out for Kicks: anything to beat back the boredom for an hour, even a minute. Havana is the daughter of Colonel Bill, the Big Man who runs the base, and his bitter, browbeaten wife, Liz.

Havana is aware that she’s a girl who has an effortless sensual beauty and sexual attraction for almost every man she encounters and she relishes the visceral power this give her.

Together with Tony, Bill’s military chauffeur, Havana leads James, a well intentioned but naive political activist, they begin to engineer small, wild happenings, designed to shock society and anonymously aggravate her father, from who she’s alienated big time.

All three of the young people get their “kicks” out of the melodramatic reaction of the local towns people and Havana is thrilled that her father is near to having a stroke, and with the increasing power she has over the boys.

The boys are fascinated by Havana; they can't leave her, and so they find themselves going along with her scheme to shake up the place with ever -increasing gags that soon spiral out of control.

They join her seeming recklessness as it escalates into apparent insanity. The group swing a wrecking ball onto the local police station, knocking it to rubble. A policeman is caught on the john as the building collapses around him, but he come through, and it’s all in fun, right?

Will Bill wake up to reality in time to save his daughter from her actions?

Who gets the final “Kicks?”

Honeysuckle Heights

HONEYSUCKLE HEIGHTS is where Havana is taken. Havana is in captivity but is she going to be tamed?

Havana is in captivity but is she going to be tamed?

We begin on the Highway and in the first minutes we are involved in a massive smash up in which Havana is a total heroine, saving several people from certain death.

HONEYSUCKLE HEIGHTS is where Havana is then taken when her parents make a deal for her to avoid jail time for a series of crimes she’s committed but which aren’t easy to prove.

Initially she is misled by one of the inhabitants who fakes that they’re the Doctor in charge.

In the luxurious surroundings of HONEYSUCKLE HEIGHTS dark secrets are hidden in unlit corridors. Taken off the streets in an effort to protect her from a life in prison. Havana hides from the truth but wherever she turns she’s confronted by her new reality.

Realizing that she’s been duped Havana rescues the real medical director and his team from their captivity.

But what do you expect in a residential home for people with mental illnesses other than a great many crazy people, including many of the staff. The Medical Director is a transsexual who is a gifted Doctor who is also revealed to be in the grip of a gambling obsession.

The Doctor uses the information she has illegitimately recorded without Havana’s permission to force her to fight for money with no holds barred. Blood and spittle fly as the fights are barbaric, exciting and rouse the crowds to hysteria.

Closed Circuit

Havana remorselessly seeks her revenge. Her mission is to kill each of the 'Beast of Satan' gang members with the aid of the town’s closed circuit camera system. She can see them all...

Havana is back, and she wants revenge.

CLOSED CIRCUIT television is watching you now. A workman in overalls fixes up the ubiquitous cameras in many locales as we watch. On the corner of a building overlooking a car park, in a shop above a changing room, pointed at an apartment block. Everywhere we look the cameras are looking back at us.

How does a girl cope with the knowledge that she is the result of a savage occult gang rape? Havana Silver makes the discovery when she is living the life of an all-American 17 year old. Her idyllic lifestyle changes overnight when she receives the news via a prayer book, bequeathed to her by her long dead mother.

Havana discovers the truth of her mother’s rape by her fellow passing out police officer cadets, of the B of S club, of her conception, of the cover up. Havana needs to avenge her mother, and this becomes her mission.

But what punishment befits a rapist? Havana has a selection of suitably horrific ideas, which she puts in to practice with the aid of her tap into the town’s closed circuit camera system. She sees everywhere all of the time, she can manipulate the traffic lights, the trains, just about every remotely controllable machine in the area. When Havana puts her mind to something, failure is not an option. Tying the rapists together is the clandestine, “Beast of Satan” club, a secret society that uses women as sexual sacrifices. The group is merciless; its history is full of murder, sexual abuse and other atrocities. The club cannot be infiltrated or exposed, since its members are all police officers from all over the country. Havana’s only option is to become a police officer herself, and infiltrate wherever she can.

Havana remorselessly seeks her revenge. Her method is to kill each of the gang members in turn by making love, using whatever she can on them individually until they each die macabre deaths. We realise that the wicked and uncaring boys they were when they did this terrible thing to her are not the men they now are and we are forced to ask the question, do they deserve this fate.

Outside her mission, Havana is a beautiful, gentle young woman, and this side of her is adored by George her new journalist boyfriend. With George, Havana is clever, demure and gentle, his perfect partner. George is besotted, but why can he not see her on an evening, and why does she never talks about her work, or her past?

Closed Circuit is a brutal and ruthless trip around the mind of a woman who we care for and fear in equal measure. Havana is a dichotomy, when she is good she is perfect; when she is bad she is terrifying. Havana is capable of loving George like men dream of, and then she is capable of luring a victim with wild sex, slashing his face to ribbons, dousing him with petrol and setting him alight.

In Closed Circuit, tension is never far away; we are always surprised by Havana’s next move. This is a story of passion aroused by lust and revenge until it is totally out of control; when no one can draw the line between right and wrong.

Closed Circuit is the modern thriller with a tense, spellbinding plot. More than this, viewers are left asking themselves “who is watching me right now?”
