action
The camera perspective does not change and shows a room in which different people pursue different activities. The room has a bed, table, chairs and a cupboard. The first movement in the film is a ball that leaps into the room through the window and is fetched back by a boy. Little by little, other people come into the room and do different activities, with processes repeating themselves and other people appearing. Among other things, a young couple in love, a boy with a balloon, an old woman and an athlete are shown. People walk past each other and don't interact. The only sound is a tango that is played.
Reviews
Mitternachtskino writes: “Tango is an incredibly lively, entertaining collage of live-action excerpts , which Rybczynski, as usual, technically implements almost perfectly. A grandiose work of animation art, and certainly one of the most beautiful, varied short films of its kind. "
