When Sarah arrives at the first place she had chosen to dance, she learns that the milonga has been cancelled, forcing her to change her plan. Unexpected situations is what Sarah is looking for when she travels eleven thousand kilometers from Paris to Buenos Aires. For nine nights her comfortable and predictable life will suffer a bit of a change.
