This is a new movie out featuring tango! I haven't personally watched it so I can't vouch for it, but the embrace sure looks proper alright.
Here goes the plot:
As his 51st birthday approaches, divorcee Jean-Claude (Chesnais) seems destined to spend the rest of his life alone and loveless. As a bailiff in a family firm, his only day-to-day contact is serving court orders to people who hate and fear him. His weekly visits to his monstrous father (Wilson) at a nursing home are marked by resentment and aggression, while he struggles to hold a conversation with his adult son (Couton) who has reluctantly joined the business.
Yet Jean-Claude still yearns for something different - and when his doctor suggests that his heart needs exercise, Jean-Claude crosses over from his office to the tango school opposite, where he meets thirtysomething Françoise (Consigny), who had long ago been babysat by his mother. She also has a longing for change as she drifts inexorably towards marriage to self-absorbed would-be novelist Thierry (Abelanski). With little in common besides resigned disappointment, Jean-Claude and Françoise dance up a restrained sort of romance together - but is it too late for them to overcome their strong sense of fatalism?
The suspense!
