Description
In 1913, Leda arrives in Buenos Aires with only a suitcase and her father's cherished violin. She is shocked to find that the husband she has travelled across an ocean to reach is dead. With no way to return home, alone, and on the brink of destitution, Leda finds herself seduced by the tango, a dance that underlies every aspect of life in her new city. To make ends meet, Leda disguises herself as a young man to join a troupe of musicians. In the illicit world of brothels and cabarets, she must navigate a complex web of desire and deception. As she becomes increasingly entwined with the tango scene, Leda's true identity begins to blur, and long-suppressed desires are finally acknowledged. This is an erotically charged story of music, passion, and self-discovery against all odds.
