Director Sam Garbarski explores the complexities of Jewish identity in contemporary Belgium in this uplifting tale about family relationships, romance, religion and interfaith marriage. The Rashevski clan’s secular matriarch, Rosa — who puts more trust in the tango’s curative powers than in God — seems to be the glue holding the family together. When she dies, her baffled brood strives to find meaning within their religious and ethnic heritage.
