Romance meets screwball comedy in Chijona’s zany tale of love and ambition set around Havana’s famous Tropicana nightclub. Aspiring dancer Sissy longs to follow in her mother’s footsteps and perform at the legendary nightclub, but her tough-guy father, Candido, forbids it. To complicate matters, Sissy finds herself falling for the handsome Sergito 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.
