Salsa (2000)
Directed by Joyce Buñuel

Comedy / Music / Romance

Film Synopsis

On the spur of the moment, Rémi Bonnet abandons his studies in classical music so that he can devote himself to his real passion: salsa.  So keen is he to join an authentic Cuban band that he subjects himself to a complete makeover.  The transformation is so convincing that one young woman, Nathalie, believes he is a real Cuban and falls madly in love with him.  How will she react when she learns that Rémi is in fact a blonde haired, blue-eyed French boy...?
