About this Event

As part of the DC Tango Festival, the Pan American Symphony Orchestra brings you this moving story of the sorrow of exile-- a group of Argentines living in Paris seek connection to their culture by staging a set of tangos. The film alternates between their vibrant rehearsals and their circumscribed lives in low-rent apartments, underemployed, fitfully communicating with families back home, trying to make do with what they hope are only temporary arrangements in a foreign land.
