Plot summary
Rabbi Moshe Yehuda leads a Hebrew school that is running out of money, and he dances the Hora as an amateur. The prize from a televised tango competition would keep the school open, so when the dancer Viviana Nieves asks him to enter it with her, he considers it. Orthodox Judaism does not permit a married man to touch a woman who is not his wife. Moshe turns to Father Anthony, a Catholic priest, and to leaders of other faiths who understand how hard modern life can be for people who keep traditional religious rules. Together they devise a plan so that he can dance in the competition without giving up his moral code.
