Plot summary
Susan, an successful elderly 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. But for a tango tourist who has started dancing in old age, it can be difficult to get asked for to dance by the men. 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, he can't enjoy the tango anymore, now the dance is stiff and a job –- no longer a passion. He suffers through dance after dance with the different women.
