Boxers and Ballerinas plot
Boxers and Ballerinas is about four young people, eternally united by their cultural heritage and eternally separated by 90 miles of water and over 40 years of political conflict. The documentary traces the lives of a boxer and a ballerina in Miami, Florida, and a boxer and a ballerina in Havana, Cuba: their triumphs and failures, their power and impotence, and the intensity and violence that comes with being young. . Boxers and ballerinas cut right through the romantic mystery of Cuba, the neon stereotype of Miami and the political noise of the US and Cuba regarding the sweat, grace and aggression of winning the battle and chasing the dream until the body does not more can.
