They met at a dance class. It soon became clear that as dancers they were about equally hopeless. He goes off the beat and blames her for it. She is convinced it is he who is off the beat. They get in the way of other dance-class participants more than they manage to learn anything themselves. So one day they decide to start practising on their own.

At his place. From a textbook. Strictly following the instructions.

What could go wrong?

Almost everything.

Instead of the right steps there are endless arguments. Instead of a sense of rhythm, there is sorting out their relationship. They quarrel and make up, take offence, lie to each other, show off to their children and grandchildren, and try to seem younger, more successful and happier than they really are. And behind all these funny squabbles, something gradually starts to show that is much harder to admit than a lack of musical ear: they simply no longer want to be alone.

It is a comedy about age, loneliness, a man and a woman, the fear of looking ridiculous, and about how you may sometimes meet your person just when you have already given up waiting for them.

And also about how the most important dance of life does not really require you to be able to dance at all.

Cast: Aleksander Kuchmezov and Tatjana Manevskaja

Based on the play “Рок-н-ролл на закате” by Mikhail Heifets
