1951, Paris. San Francisco socialite Nancy Cooke meets Luis de
Herrera, a dashing sports car driver from Argentina who is driving
with the American team at Le Mans. It is love at first sight for
the couple, but several obstacles keep them apart. After
heartbreaking separations and months of uncertainty, they finally
marry. Is it happily ever after? Not quite . Nancy's divorce isn't
recognized by the strict Catholic country of Argentina, and she
struggles to be accepted as de Herrera's wife. But as time passes,
Nancy becomes more familiar with the people of Argentina,
especially of Juan Peron and his wife, Evita. She witnesses the
country's fictitious agony over Evita's illness, and the
choreographed, Hollywood-like production mourning her death. Later,
Nancy even participates in the revolution to overthrow Peron. But
while visiting the United States, Nancy and Luis are exposed to
atomic radiation fallout, resulting in Luis's tragic death. Such a
horrific event spurs Nancy's search for answers, and begins a new,
lifelong spiritual quest that continues to this day. With amazing
candor and heartbreaking emotion, "Never Tango with a Stranger"
tells Nancy's bittersweet story of love, loss, and illumination,
and provides a compelling portrait of the power and strength of the
human spirit.
