TAXIDANCING

 

Doc 14 minutes / Sweden (2012)

Susan, a successful lawyer from Oxford, spends every winter in Buenos Aires. She goes there to find a warm and tender tango embrace on the dance floor, the argentinian "abrazo", as a cure for her loneliness. In Buenos Aires she meets the taxidancer Juan-Carlos who offers her everything that she is looking for- but only in return for her money. Juan-Carlos has the tango embrace that makes women melt on the dance floor. However, Carlos himself does not enjoy the dancing; he suffers through dance after dance with the different women.
