A Bear Named B is a heart warming story of a teddy bear who's
greatest dream is to find her forever home.
It is 1979 and sixteen year old Jennifer bunks off school each day
and goes to dance class in London. No one knows that the final
months of the ecstatic days of disco are quickly passing as
Jennifer is plucked from the crowd to join the Hottest dance group
ever created. She is part of a troupe who become celebrities before
the term was invented and discovers a sensual freedom that will
soon be cut off when a sex plague strikes the all-night party
people of London. Two decades later, she is living in New York and
although her body suffers after a life of dance, the passion for
expression in movement pursues her. She takes up the tango and soon
moves to Buenos Aires to immerse herself in the dance. But tango is
a dance with a dance, the exterior passion conceals a deep
melancholy and the etiquette reflects the dominance of the male in
Latin America. She begins an affair with Dario, a young
revolutionary who betrays her for his own ends and she becomes
disillusioned with Buenos Aires and the self-interested expats who
live there. Still eager for adventure and discovery, Jennifer
travels around Argentina - the land at the bottom of the world,
finding a variety of affairs in Patagonia, Iguazu, Carnival. When
she eventually arrives in Salta, in the far-off foothills of the
Andes, she meets Vicente and begins an affair that redefines
everything she thought she knew about love. Last Tango in Buenos
Aires is an exploration of the collision of love between foreign
cultures as well as the difficulty in women's relationships when
there are men to play for. Part love story, part travelogue. For
everyone who loves passion with their travel adventure.
