The Rashevski's Tango begins with the demise of the Rashevski's matriarch, Rosa, who hated religion and rabbis, but shocks her family by requesting an Orthodox burial. As her extended clan gathers for the funeral, the film presents us with the kaleidoscope of Jewish life in one family with Holocaust survivors, twenty-somethings, inter-marrieds, newly-observants, converts, Israelis and diaspora-dwellers. The Rashevski's Tango is a heartwarming ensemble comedy that celebrates the multiplicity of Jewish lives in the modern world.

Co-sponsored by the Embassy of France, the Alliance Francaise de Washington, DC and the Embassy of Belgium
