On Sunday nights, Union City's La Esquina Habanera restaurant is the place to be for New Jersey's Cuban community. Here, professional and amateur dancers gyrate to the sensual and spirited rhythms of the rumba, a dance veteran practitioners credit for everything from curing cancer to sexual vigor in old age.

 

Award-winning Dutch documentarian Heddy Honigmann listens to the stories of several Cuban exiles in this joyous cinematic celebration of Latin life, music, and dance that culminates with an exuberant nightclub finale.
