Features many scenes in the tenement house (birth place of tango) and the real tangueros ( no for export). It is half fiction half real. Kind of something you add to the tango coffee. It is perfecto for the people of Esmeralda. It has the usual suspects (Carlos GArdel), some fights and a real milonguera (at that time 75 years old and going strong ) married to the same guy for 60 years. She felt in love because he was the king of the milongas and also he asked her to press his pants ( old fashioned courtship style of poor people in Buenos Aires). Anyway, the film is funny, is 100 per cent tango ( all tango, no fat) and no sex but a lot of lunfardo.
