SYNOPSIS:

When a Tango dancer(Karina Smirnoff) asks a Rabbi(Jos Laniado) to enter a dance competition, there's one big problem-due to his Orthodox beliefs, he's not allowed to touch her! But the prize money would save his school from bankruptcy, so they develop a plan to enter the competition without sacrificing his faith, and the bonds of family and community are tested one dazzling dance step at a time. “I was pleased to learn of film, Tango Shalom, which is intended to foster the values of fraternal solidarity and peace on a global level.” Pope Francis “Incredible film…incredible director”! Eric Goldman, Jewish Broadcasting Service “An explosion of pure joy”. Dina Gold, Momentmag.com
