from Fort Lauderdale, Florida A Husband-and-Wife Collaboration.
Real-life couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony make their first feature film together (with Jennifer Lopez as the co-producer). This musical drama focuses on the life of salsa music legend Hector Lavoe (Anthony), whose fight against his own personal demons and drug addictions threatened to destroy his career and his marriage, only his beautiful wife's (Lopez) devotion can keep him from going over the edge. A rather intense emotional drama. With John Ortiz, Vincent Laresca, Manny Perez, and Federico Castelluccio.
