Our Last Tango is a love story involving perhaps the most famous couple in tango history and their shared passion for the partnered dance. Now in their eighties, María Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes met when they were 14 and 17, respectively, and have danced together for nearly 50 years, memorably in the Broadway smash hit Tango Argentino. Off the dance floor, they loved and hated each other in equal measure, broke up and reunited, but always generated sparks as performing partners. Now toward the end of their lives, the pair share their tempestuous personal history with a group of young tango dancers and choreographers in Buenos Aires, who transform the couple’s personal drama into sizzling dance numbers. Soul-searching interviews and documentary highlights create an unforgettable odyssey into the heart of tango.
