Nora is a successful businesswoman with a steely grip not only on her work, but also on her family relationships.

Trying to make sense of what happened, Nora herself goes to the tango school, which at first seems to her to be a meeting place for people with low social responsibility. But in the end it is this colorful world that changes Nora beyond recognition: she will go from a woman with an iron grip to a free and soft dancer.
