Die Rumba-Therapie

In the organizer's words:

Tony, in his mid-fifties, is a lone wolf as he is known: in the mornings, he drives through the Parisian countryside as a casual, smoking school bus driver, in the evenings he dreams of freedom in faraway America. After a heart attack makes him aware of the transience of life, the grumpy loner decides to visit his daughter Maria, who works as a dance teacher in Paris and whose mother he abandoned before Maria was born. Tony wants to get closer to his daughter, but is afraid to reveal himself. So he registers for a rumba class under a false name. But Maria doesn't accept just anyone into her class. Talent is in demand! With his neighbor Fanny, Tony practices hip swings, passion poses and cha-cha rhythms day and night - and manages to get a place in Maria's rumba class. But is it so easy to dance away years of paternal absence?

Fiery rhythms and absurd French humor guarantee the best entertainment in this opulent and extremely danceable feel-good comedy about the happiness of responsibility and the hope of a happy ending. Scandalous author Michel Houellebecq can also be seen in a guest role as a cardiologically trained shaman.
