	"Love is a song you never forget" Cuba, 1948. 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. From Havana to New York, Paris, Hollywood and Las Vegas, two passionate individuals battle impossible odds to unite in music and love. Chico & Rita is from Oscar winning director Fernando Trueba and the legendary illistrator Javier Mariscal. · Nominated for Best Animated Feature Film for the 84th Academy Awards 2012. · 2012 Goya Award for best animated film. One of the best films ever made about jazz, I can't think of any other that is truer and more moving." —Gary Giddins / Film Comment "I have fallen in love with a film full of so much life, warmth and love and it reminded me what style in the movies is about" —Shane McNeil / Toronto Film Scene chicoyrita.com
