As well as the original movie, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights deals with the similar problems. This time, the story revolves around a young girl named Katey Miller (Romola Garai), who is a daughter of a dancing couple. The year is 1958 and their family is moving to Cuba. After her father got promoted in the Ford company, they are relocating. There, she finds some difficulties to fit in, because she is smart and modest, unlike other girls. At one point, she gets torn between what she is expected to do, which means dating a high class young man, whose dad is her dad's boss, and what she wants to do, and that is dating a Cuban guy called Javier Suarez (Diego Luna), who is working as a waiter in the hotel they are staying at. As she gets closer and closer with Javier, two of them fall in love and ultimately apply for the contest held on the New Year's Eve in the hotel. The winning prize is big and she wants to help his family. As the situation between two of them develops, so do the situation in the country. After the changing of the government in the country, Katey and her family is forced to leave Cuba, which doesn't fall easy for both her and Javier. But, they decide to spend their last days loving each other instead of crying about it.
