Last Tango in Carlsfeld

Robert plays the bandoneon. The instrument is made in his home, the eastern border town of Carlsfeld. With an unemployment rate of over 20%, Robert's future prospects are bleak. But unlike his friends, who see their future in the prosperous West, Robert wants to stay in his hometown and decides to make bandoneons himself. Robert - the quiet struggle of a loner in a lost corner of Europe.
