A Tango with Chino Perico (2020)

At the heart of the Argentine Tango is the desire to embrace, listen, and understand the inner voice of the person you are dancing with through its dramatic music and intimate body language. A Tango with Chino Perico is a conversation piece between a Milonguero and a modern feminist filmmaker. Despite our mutual admiration, Chino's conservatism and my modernity inevitably collided. Our meeting on the dance floor aroused a strong desire for communication across our generations, cultures, races, genders. Our stark differences fermented a fascinating chemical reaction. It's really amazing that two completely different individuals can dance and console each other as if in unison to the dramatic music. - That's tango. In particular, this film is dedicated to the year 2020. The scourge of the corona-virus pandemic has made us all the more eager to embrace each other, but cannot. So here, I dedicate this film to you. It's like a Tango, composed of hugs, alive for love. I hope that in the near future we will embrace each other tighter and love stronger.
