En la Cuba de finales de los años cuarenta, Chico y Rita inician una apasionada historia de amor. Chico es un joven pianista enamorado del jazz y Rita sueña con ser una gran cantante. Desde la noche que el destino los junta en un baile en un clubde LaHabana, la vida va uniéndoles y separándoles, como a los personajes de un bolero.

Music and romantic desire unites them, but their journey – in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero – brings heartache andtorment.
