Plots(1)

A melancholic dream about dance and music, as well as unfulfilled desires and wanderlust behind the Berlin Wall. Sitting at her typewriter in her Prenzlauer Berg apartment, listening to tango music, a woman (Helke Misselwitz) writes the script for a film about tango and dreams, about Buenos Aires and Montevideo –a different world, where, long ago, tango was born. (Mar del Plata International Film Festival)
