In the Heights follows Usnavi, a sunny-souled bodega owner in Washington Heights, as he dreams of a brighter life for himself and his friends. Through vibrant song-and-dance numbers and intimate moments, the film portrays a tight-knit Latinx community grappling with work, love, family, and the pull of home. Directed by Jon M. Chu and adapted from Lin-Manuel Miranda's stage musical, it is a joyful, soul-stirring celebration of culture, resilience, and dreams.
