Gerardo Chijona | Cuba-Spain | Fiction | 1999 | 90min
A music-infused romantic comedy from Cuba to celebrate the day of love,
streaming free of charge this Saturday, Feb. 13th from 3:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.
Please note this film is only available to viewers in the United States
Romance meets screwball comedy in Chijona’s zany tale of love and ambition set around Havana’s famous Tropicana nightclub. Aspiring dancer Sissy (Thais Valdes) longs to follow in her mother’s footsteps and perform at the legendary nightclub, but her tough-guy father, Candido (Enrique Molina), forbids it. To complicate matters, Sissy finds herself falling for the handsome Sergito (Vladimir Cruz) after her father accidentally hits him with his truck. Filled with colorful costumes, flamboyant dance numbers, voodoo offerings, and resurrections from the dead, Un Paraíso bajo las estrellas is a Valentine’s Day film unlike any other.
