TANGO
A Duo
Ortiz de Zárate and Dartagnan don’t just direct — they seduce. They film like those who understand the danger of tango: one wrong step, one precise cut, one silence that burns hotter than noise. Their films are born from this play between light and shadow, elegance and vertigo — made to capture the eye and leave a mark on the skin.
Trained in film in Argentina, between FUC and UBA, they forged their language in the space between advertising and cinema. From that crossing, they developed a sophisticated eye, a sharp approach to directing actors, and an almost tactile obsession with atmosphere, character, and image.
Each film carries their signature: dramatic intensity, visual magnetism, and a refined aesthetic where beauty is never cold — it pulses, provokes, and seduces.
It takes two to tango
Daily special
1.m. Usually, restaurants display reduced-price specials menus for 48 hours, in order to increase the sales of a given dish or ingredient. This kind of practice is very common in dark kitchens, which produce a small variety of plates so they can lower costs.
2.m. A tragic story about pathological internal conflicts that takes place at dinnertime between 4 or 8 walls.
This is the story
The recent pandemic that threatens the whole world is at its peak and the Montana government asks its citizens to stay indoors.
David (39), isolated in an old apartment which isn't his, suffers from a little-known disease called mysophonia: a disorder that destabilizes him when he hears specific repetitive sounds.
While he is working against the clock on an architecture model that he can't seem to finish and struggling with his internal conflicts, he decides to take refuge in food: he orders the daily special from a dark kitchen, delegating the effort of choosing what he will eat. A menu in which he never imagined being a part of.
