Chico and Rita
2010, Ireland/Spain
Directors: Tono Errando, Javier Mariscal
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.
It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Overseas it won the Goya for Best Animated Feature in Spain and the European Award for Best Animated Feature.
