    • Synopsis
    • Cherri is gay, loves classical ballet, and has a body that is a flamboyant celebration of weight. He is the choreographer of a plus-size ballet troupe at a Havana weight clinic while looking after his disabled husband. Although he is aware that he is being taken advantage of, he can’t avoid surrendering to his infatuation for Tim —a young and attractive security guard that quenches his thirst for love.

      A moving film that drills into the universal themes of love, loyalty, erotic longing and new beginnings.
