Synopsis
On a hot summer’s night, we meet Alejandro and Sylvia on the terrace of a bar, at the top of a building. The last customer has left, Alejandro cleans his chrome revolver before Sylvia grabs it. A languishing tango follows during which the two protagonists try to charm the object of their desire. Who is leading this intense fatal dance: Alejandro or Sylvia? The tango or the revolver? Adapted from Jeffrey Whitmore’s "Bedtime Story", Revolver Tango showcases the extraordinary talent of two prominent dancers, Chantal Dauphinais and Bobby Thompson.
