THE GAZELLE’S DANCE

EUGENIO’s dream is to win a big trophy, but he could never achieve it as a football player. Now he is 72 years old and he sees a chance to fulfill his dream through a tropical dance contest. But when he loses his partner half way through the contest his only chance of winning will be forcing him to deal with his own pre-conceived notions. He’ll trade the ball for a hall.
