Inspired by the story of the families of Sam Garbarski, German Director, and Philippe Blasb and, Iranian filmmaker, The Tango of Rashevski, 2003, puts in scene a Belgian Jewish family, until the death of their matriarch, Rose, is fully aware of the cultural and religious tradition. The family, who notices all of a sudden, they not only don't know about their traditions, but also do not know each other. Although they share a jaded Jewish humor, love by Rosa and tango, the family cannot agree on almost nothing. From the death of Rose, is that all start to realize that it was she who knew all the traditions of the religion in which they do not know how to live. The identity, customs and rites are confused, especially when Nina, one of granddaughters, is courted by a Christian who accepts to convert to marry him. Or even when Rico, another grandson, falls in love and decides to live with Khadija, a Muslim. The stories of Rosa, Nina and Khadija intertwine, revealing not only strategies of belonging, as well as with the others, even in situations anything.
