Arriving in Havana, the two women promptly lose the ashes and go through a series of misadventrues - both romantic and dangerous - to try to retrieve them. A colourful and wryly humourous tale of cross-cultural misunderstandings and lost illusions.

Critic Reviews
-
Guy Lodge, Variety
The Havana-set Day of the Flowers aims to dance away its script troubles to the infectious rumba rhythms of its soundtrack.

Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film

-
Paul Gallagher, The List
It's a likeable film, if not a particularly riveting one, easily enjoyed and just as easily forgotten.
