Midsummer Night’s Tango. Dancing Tango in faraway Finland
Tango was born in Buenos Aires and no one dances tango as passionately as the Argentineans do - that at least what the Argentineans themselves believe.
Tango is as Finnish as sauna and skiing - that is what the famous Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki and many of his fellow countrymen are convinced of. Two countries, two opinions, two musical traditions.
“Midsummer Night’s Tango” is a humorous, light-hearted road movie, accompanying three Argentinean tango musicians as they leave the milongas of Buenos Aires behind to discover tango in faraway Finland.
