One night in Havana a talented songwriter meets a beautiful singer. United by their love for music and for each other, Chico and Rita begin a romance that will bring them hope, heartache and happiness. But in which order? We follow the young lovers through the ravishing cityscapes of New York, Las Vegas, Hollywood and Paris in the 1940s and 1950s. With Latin rhythms and American jazz, this delightful award-winning animation is a treat for the ears, the eyes and several other major organs, most of all the heart. If this sensual tale of love and desire fails to move you, consult your doctor immediately.
