"Childhood dance lessons lead to the journey of a lifetime in this touching tale of friendship from director Ryu Murakami. Upon learning that the man who inspired her passion for Latin dance is currently living in New York City, Kyoko (Saki Takaoka) opts to purchase a plane ticket and depart from Japan to visit her old friend. Dismayed to discover upon her arrival that her old friend, Jose (Carlos Osorio), has developed a devastating case of AIDS and cannot even recognize her, sympathetic Kyoko offers to drive her dying friend to his home in Florida. Soon, the unlikely duo is embarking on an unforgettable journey that will define a lifetime for one and forever change the heart of another."
