Two young, strong-willed Scottish sisters, one a left-wing activist, the other a most-popular-girl-in-school type, take their late father's ashes to Cuba, the site of many family legends of his services to the REvolution. Arriving in Havana, the two women promptly lose the ashes and go through a series of misadventrues - both romantic and dangerous - to try to retrieve them. A colourful and wryly humourous tale of cross-cultural misunderstandings and lost illusions.

- I liked it, simple musical predictable pictorial. A lot is said without words here but it all stays at an outer physical level and does not go any deeper within any consciousness. Even a death is not used to enter growth in awareness or consciousness but uses that death for unconscious repressed sexual relational problems. When I was little England was described to me as a sexual repressed country this movie is another perfect confirmation of that repression.Reply
- An entertaining, feel good film. Great music, very pleasing on the eyes. Enough twists in the plot to keep you interested. Thoroughly enjoyed it.Reply
- I loved this film! It's great to see a movie that's intelligent, funny and poignant. Carlos Acosta had amazing screen presence and I look forward to seeing him in more filmsReply
- Although occasionally the multiple plot strands seem to be pulling against each other, there's a warmth to the production that eases us over the structural cracks and makes us care about the outcome.Reply
- It's refreshing to see a film about two women that doesn't focus entirely on their love lives, but that's the limit of the cliché-busting; elsewhere, archetypes abound.Reply
- Pretty Cuban landscapes and the graceful Acosta are the highlights of this slight but winsome road trip romance.Reply
- Humour and melodrama rub along uncomfortably, but the likeable leads and gorgeous scenery make this lightweight trip fly by.Reply
- Watchable British drama enlivened by engaging performances, a terrific soundtrack and a strong sense of location, though the script is occasionally both frustrating and confusing.Reply
- Always charmingly frothy, even when the narrative threatens to salsa off with the fairies.Reply
- It's a likeable film, if not a particularly riveting one, easily enjoyed and just as easily forgotten.Reply
