Wild Tango!  Storyline Final

               It was a time of great social turmoil and deep uncertainty 
               in a country that was growing out of large waves of 
               immigrants.

               They came from all lands and all races. Several generations 
               of "mestizos" and foreigners had already settled. There was 
               a mistrustful climate among social classes.

               It was in 1900,  a few short years after the beginning of 
               century.

               Passions were unrestrainable, the music was alien  but the 
               greatest expression of feeling was born, the Tango.

               Banned by the Catholic Church and considered sacrilegious 
               by high society, its enormous force  penetrated deeply into 
               the hearts of sentimental and passionate people. Perhaps 
               because it's the most sensual of dances with  the most 
               haunting rhythm and vivid lyrics ever heard.

               By chance, a young woman is falls under the combined spell 
               of the Tango and an impossible love, both alien to the 
               sedate world of her powerful family. Yielding to her 
               passion, she decides to explore the wild atmosphere of the 
               Tango night, along Buenos Aires.

               She slips out of her Estancia by night and wanders into the 
               "Bar de las Copas". There, she meets Julian, a simple,  
               stouthearted "porteo" who wins her over and for the first 
               time she takes the full measure of her womanhood.

               Hiding from her family and Pierre, her fiancee, he teaches 
               her to dance the Tango with its sweet and sad melodies.

               She realizes how incomplete her life has been, now that  
               passion fills its emptiness.

               Changing her appearance, she escapes from her world only to 
               be recognized by someone; and a tragedy ensues, precipitated 
               by her jealous fiancee.

               A journey along the ways of the Tango, Buenos Aires early 
               in the century. A society difficult to fathom, save  through  
               the music of the Tango.

               A love story, a great passion and the most moving music 
               ever heard.
