Every frame of 'Tanghi argentini' trembles with the breathtaking force of the sound of Tango, a Belgian production directed by experienced filmmaker Guido Thys. A short comic fable with an Argentine soundtrack that captivated the audience attending the European Short Film Competition. The admirable goal of the director was to see them smile; "We wanted to make something completely different to the standard fare, a modern-day fairytale set to Tango music, so the viewers leave the cinema with big grins all over their faces".
'Tanghi argentini' feeds off the energy provided by Dirk Van Dijck playing the part of an office worker who changes the logic inherent in the distribution of Christmas gifts in his company. The appreciative ALCINE audience has added its voice with another award for 'Tanghi argentini' on its faultless journey around the European festival circuit. The short film benefits from the strong directorial hand of Guido Thys, who has used his incomparable ability to get the best from Geert Verbanck's delightful script.
