In tango, there are no wrong turns. But every dance begins with a backward step.  And so it is with ‘Rosa’ – three love stories, two continents, one dance.  Rosa runs a successful Argentinean restaurant in Wellington but her life is unsettled.  Her restlessness causes friction in her marriage to down-to-earth Ivan, and leads her to a dalliance with the young dishwasher, Lionel.  The discovery of her grandfather’s bittersweet romance with the passionate Louise, a love that started on the shores of New Zealand during World War I and ended tragically years later in the city of Buenos Aires, brings Rosa to a better understanding of her own character and desires.  As Grandfather Paul danced the tango with Louise, so does Rosa dance first with Lionel and finally with Ivan.
