Hello Hemingway is a 1990 Cuban drama film directed by Fernando Pérez and starring Laura de la Uz.

The plot, set in Havana in 1956, near the end of Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship, follows a young girl whose aspirations to obtain a scholarship in America against all odds are paralleled by her reading of Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.

At home, she adorns her walls with pictures of Elvis Presley and Tony Curtis, while at school she excels in her English class.

On a visit to a bookshop, she is given a copy of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, which she starts to read avidly, drawing parallels between the novel and her own life which she records in her diary.

That night Larita returns home to find that her uncle, whose salary was the family's principal means of support, has been fired from his job as a policeman.
