Chico and Rita (Chico & Rita) is a Spanish animated feature-length film with Spanish and English languages directed by Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal. The story of Chico and Rita is set against backdrops of Havana, New York City, Las Vegas, Hollywood and Paris
in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The film was produced by Fernando
Trueba Producciones, Estudio Mariscal and Magic Light Pictures. The film
was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film for the 84th Academy Awards
(the first time that a Spanish full-length animated film is nominated)
and has won in Spain the 2012 Goya Award for best animated film.
A gifted songwriter and beautiful singer chase their dreams – and
each other – from Havana to New York and Las Vegas. Chico is a young
piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an
extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire unite them, but their
journey – in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero – brings heartache and torment.
