Writer/Director/Composer

Leonardo, a ballet dancer, and Sara, an ambitious lawyer, are young Afro-Cubans desperate to leave their country. They realize that their ticket off the island is for Leonardo to seduce one of the foreign students at the salsa school where he teaches. Dreams collide when they meet a lonely Iranian-Canadian woman who is seeking adventure and passion in paradise.
