Julia is a single mother, works as a telephone operator and has as a hobby, attending every Wednesday the Colonia Salon to dance danzón. Part of her enthusiasm for not missing her weekly dates is getting out of the routine, as well as seeing her partner, Carmelo, with whom she has won several dance contests. One fine day, the man suddenly disappears when he is suspected of robbery, which is why the protagonist sets out on a trip to Veracruz, a meeting point for the best dancers, where she hopes to find him. In this place, she meets new friends who help her in the search for her: transvestites, prostitutes and other characters make her discover another facet of herself.
DIRECTOR
Maria Novaro
María Novaro's first work was the short film Azul celeste, the fourth fragment of the episode film Historias de la ciudad (1988), with which she placed herself as one of the most interesting filmmakers, an impression that she more than reaffirmed in her debut in the feature film direction with Lola (1989), which made her worthy of national and international awards. Her subsequent works, Danzón (1990) and El Jardín del Edén (1993), have reaffirmed her image as her solvent and creative director, and have been well accepted by the public.
