The Christmas Tango

In a remote Greek army camp during the 1970s, a strict colonel's wife, Zoi Loggou, is the object of desire for a young lieutenant, Stefanos Karamanidis. Determined to win her affections, he forces a shy soldier, Lazaros Lazarou, to teach him the tango for the upcoming Christmas celebration. As the two men dance, they discover a deep connection that challenges their masculinity and the rigid social norms of the time. Meanwhile, Zoi struggles with her own suffocation in a loveless marriage and finds solace in the unexpected attention from the lieutenant. The story unfolds against the backdrop of political turmoil, as Greece is ruled by a brutal military dictatorship. Will the power of dance and love triumph over the oppressive regime, or will it only lead to further heartache?
