Cuban Fury

After years of suppressing his passion for salsa dancing due to childhood trauma and bullying, a shy and unathletic Englishman named Bruce Garrett is inspired to reclaim his Latin roots. Encouraged by his coworker and crush, Julia, and guided by his supportive sister, Dink, Bruce embarks on a journey to conquer his fears and master the dance. He must overcome his inner demons and the mockery of others to impress Julia and ultimately find himself on the dance floor.
