This all-star cast film features MJFF alumni and Golden Globe nominee Rhea Perlman and Oscar nominee Renée Taylor (of "The Nanny," "The Producers," "Guide to Being a Latin Lover"), produced by Joel Zwick (of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"). In the film, a Hasidic rabbi (played by Josh Laner) strives to uphold his faith in order to fulfill his dream of dancing the tango. Hasidic rabbi and amateur Hora dancer Moshe Yehuda participates in a big television tango competition to save his Hebrew school from bankruptcy. There's just one problem: due to his Orthodox religious principles, he cannot touch women! Amid tensions with his wife and five children, his Orthodox community rabbi, and the entire Hasidic community of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Moshe is forced to seek advice from a Catholic priest, a Muslim imam, and a Sikh guru. Together, they devise a plan to help Moshe enter the tango competition without sacrificing his sacred beliefs... thus giving birth to a fun and passionately charged dance film. "Tango Shalom" is heartwarming and thrilling, testing the bonds of family and community, and the limits of tolerance and faith.
