Chico & Rita
Do you know this guy?
Directed by Fernando Trueba, Javier Mariscal, Tono Errando
Produced by Isle of Man Film, CinemaNX
A lush, jazz-soaked animated romance set in Cuba that traces the passionate, turbulent arc of two musicians whose love is as beautiful and doomed as the bolero tradition itself.
Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire unites them, but their journey - in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero - brings heartache and torment.
