A priest, a transvestite, a taxi driver, a blind woman, a dance maestro, a street cleaner, musicians, a couple of dance twosomes, ranging in age from 18 to 85, all have something in common: dancing and music are the center of their lives. Although many of the characters exist under extenuating economic circumstances, dance imbues them with dignity. The story is told by a shoemaker and the documentary focuses on the importance of dance in Mexico City. One detail in particular: the dancers may not have enough to eat, but they always manage to save enough to invest in impeccable dancing shoes.
