Plot summary
Sally is a filmmaker and screenwriter with writer's block. Rage, her murder mystery set in the fashion industry, dissatisfies her, and she cannot make it come together. She takes a break and travels to Paris, where she watches the dancer Pablo perform tango. The dance takes hold of her; it is Argentinian tango, and she wants to learn it. Pablo is a tango dancer, and she offers him a part in her stalled film in exchange for lessons. He agrees, and the lessons begin. In the dance the man leads and the woman follows; in her film the woman is in charge.
