Before We Move

A story of queer tango dancers Otar and Misha dancing their way to a better life in Israel due to the harsh LGBTQ+ political situation in the country. As society changes, how we dance changes too. In the modern time the international queer community reinvented it as Queer Tango. It’s a different way to dance, where nobody takes your gender, sexual orientation or choice of role for granted. Like any other popular dance, it is a mirror of the society in which it was developed and from which it emerges. People have always moved in search of better living conditions and escaping dramatic political environment in their homeland. The rising level of homophobia in Russia forces many gays and lesbians to leave their country and seek refuge abroad. When narrow- minded traditionalism and xenophobia are rife in the country, tango leads you to move forward, no matter what gender, sexual orientation or nationality you have.
