Synopsis:
A journey into the unique and passionate world of Queer tango. The story follows the life of a Russian gay couple, Misha and Otar, who are organising Queer Tango festival in St. Petersburg. They introduce an alternative way of dancing to the traditional tango community in Russia. Meanwhile they have a decision to make about the migration to Israel. The rising level of homophobia in Russia forces many gays and lesbians to leave their country and seek refuge abroad. When narrow-minded traditionalism and xenophobia are rife in the world, it is important to continue dancing tango, no matter what gender, sexual orientation or nationality you have.
