Tahvo Hirvonen:
Looking for the Lost Tango (Stadilaista tangoa etsimässä) (Finland, 2010)
104 min. - Finnish
Distributor: FS Film

Finnish artist Tuomari Nurmio becomes interested in Finnish tango. Modern Finnish tango puzzles him; it has no kick, no vigor. He begins his research on how tango came to Finland and what affected the development of Finnish tango.

Tuomari forms an orchestra �€�Kongontien orkesteri , and together they start arranging his old songs into tangos and rearranging some evergreen tangos.

The film follows Tuomari Nurmio and Kongontien orkesteri during the making of the album, as well as Tuomari´s research of the arrival of tango and its history in Finland. The film is both a unique documentary about making an album in today´s Finland and a profound look by old-timers of the rock generation at a musical genre that was previously unfamiliar to them.
