The special cinema film: "Tango Shalom"

It is quite unusual for a rabbi to take part in a tango competition. The film "Tango Shalom" therefore sees itself as a smiling call for interpretation and cooperation between different religions. The Bocholt cultural administration invites you to a screening of the film on Tuesday, 28 November at the Kinodrom Bocholt. The film starts at 8 pm and admission costs 6 euros. Young adults can use their "Kulturpass" and get in free.

Synopsis

With his Hebrew school on the brink of financial ruin, Hasidic rabbi and amateur Torah dancer Moshe Yehuda (Jos Laniado) has an unusual idea. He decides to take part in a televised tango competition. But there's a catch: as an orthodox Jew and a married man, Moshe is not allowed to touch any woman other than his wife (Judi Beecher). In search of a way out of this dilemma, the rabbi asks a Catholic priest (Joe Bologna) and the leaders of various other faiths for advice. Together they devise a plan to help Moshe dance in the competition without violating his moral code.

The film by director Gabriel Bologna lasts 115 minutes. Trailer and tickets at www.kinodrom.de.
