Tango of Life (Tango della vita), dir. Erica Liffredo, co-dir. Krista Burāne, 80’, Italy/Latvia, 2024
Claudio knows that one day he will be in a wheelchair, but what still keeps him on his feet and working his fields is the tango. His Parkinson’s disease is progressing slowly but inexorably. Time is short. Claudio and Ivana’s story inspired the renowned Latvian composer Arturs Maskats to write a new work in collaboration with world-famous accordionist Ksenija Sidorova. The illness and the dream of Argentina alternate in a crescendo of fear and hope, to the accompaniment of this special music.
