Atmospherically shot mostly in black and white in Paris and Buenos Aires. The soundtrack includes Astor Piazzolla's Libertango.
Pablo Veron is a tango dancer teaching Sally Potter. Potter is thinking of making a film called The Tango Lesson, that Veron is keen to be in. The film explores the conflict between the woman dancer accepting the man's lead in the dance, while the man must accept the woman's lead in the film. It is also a love story - as well as a showcase for Veron's Tango dancing.
