At a salsa party in Copenhagen, Esben falls head over heels in love with Cuban Rosa, and she quickly becomes pregnant. Rosa, however, has struggled with feelings of alienation throughout her life in Denmark—shaped by maternal neglect, a lack of family support, and a sense of being out of place in a foreign country. As Esben and Rosa start to build a life together, doubts about their love and recurring misunderstandings constantly challenge their relationship. MY DANCE WITH ROSA is a love story about navigating the complexities of connection, understanding each other’s emotional patterns, and the journey of creating one’s own happiness.
