Swedish Tango

In the opening scene of Swedish Tango, a man gives guide to his wife, who is driving. It seems, that despite the decades spent together and the shared deep dependency, the relationship of the couple from Kiiruna, is nightmarishly desynchronized. How do you think the couple handles an Argentine Tango? While searching for the common  dance steps, we travel to Stockholm and onwards to Buenos Aires. The film tells about conquering age, personal limitations and cultural differences - or perhaps about, how to creatively ignore them. The greatest cultural difference can sometimes lie between you and your significant other and crossing that may well be the most rewarding thing of them all. Director Jerzy Sladkowski creatively uses elements, typical to fiction, in his narration and takes the viewer to an entertaining, amusing and thought-spinning tango.
