Tango, theater, and the burning passion of Ostrobothnia.
Directed by Pekka Lehto, Tango - Cabaret (2001) is a lively, original, music-filled dramedy about Finnish tango culture and the passion for performing. The film is set on the plains of Ostrobothnia and amid the excitement of the Seinäjoki Tango Market, where dreams, love, and show business meet in a unique way.
At the heart of the story is a colorful group of artists and tango royalty who put everything on the line—both onstage and off. The leading roles include Martti Suosalo, Jorma Uotinen, and Esa Pulliainen. This film combines visual stylization, powerful emotions, and the infectious rhythm of tango!
