Narrative

A vivacious mix of music, magical realism and electrifying dance mesmerize in this tale centered on octogenarian Fermin Tundera.

Committed to an institution decades ago, and suffering from PTSD and depression, Fermin breaks out of his isolation with the help of an ambitious young doctor, who connects to Fermin through the language of the Argentinian tango. As their relationship deepens, we’re transported back to 1940’s Buenos Aires, where long-kept secrets unwind to the sensual beats of a deep and beautiful dance.
