30 years ago, Carlos and Margarita were the most famous tango couple in the world. Carlos now lives in Madrid, enjoying the second opportunity that life has given him, and Margarita lives in Buenos Aires immersed in solitude and oblivion. A sudden event will force the couple to reunite and to start a journey on the roads of Argentina, together with their longtime friend Pichuquito. A road-trip which will make them face their memories, their fears, but above all their true desires.

The scenery is spectacular, the characters are likeable and broadly sketched – and the contrivances are so nakedly piled upon each other that the only thing to do is to sigh, smile, and just let the story play out.

Rated: 3.5/5

If as a writer, Seresesky has a tendency to overstate and over-sentimentalize, as a director she demonstrates to be a solid storyteller and capable of giving her performers the necessary space and context so they can thrive. [Full review in Spanish]

There's an ample serving of black humor and sharpness in the situations that allow us to overlook the moments when the plot borders on the purest form of sentimentality. [Full review in Spanish]

With the road marking the story's timeline and the Argentinian rural landscape as a metaphor for an inner journey, Let the Dance Begin is a bitter and enlightening story about growing old and last chances. [Full review in Spanish]
