Tjaša and Lena manage to entice their partners to dance classes. Their partners, typical, real men (Leon and Uroš) initially offer a decent amount of resistance, then grudgingly accept the idea, merely for the sake of peace. However, their new pastime seems to bring less and less peace into their lives. At the beginning of the story, both couples look very stable and committed, with signs of a peaceful routine that has settled into their lives after several years. It seems that the right persons are in the right relationships. Tango, however, stirs things a bit. Already in the first lessons, the participants are faced with the Latin culture of touching, and with the set tango routine of changing dance partners frequently. Tango, by definition, is "walking in the embrace," explains the dance teacher. It turns out that the four protagonists are "merely physically" matched better in the opposite combinations than in their everyday life. This surprising dance harmony and spontaneity kindles the first feelings of jealousy. The two men begin to take dance lessons much more enthusiastically than it was expected. Their female partners are trying to be more pleasant and more appealing than it would suffice for their partners. All four begin to take a dangerous interest in each other. If the two couples initially had a lot in common and seemed well matched, they now become intrigued by attractive differences that they sense in the persons from the other couple. The thing is that they do not know nor can be sure whether the thrill comes from the "mere physicality of tango" or is it a real, personal interest, which is in clear conflict with their committed relationships. This uncertainty coincides with a joint decision to spend News Year's Eve together. The night is exciting, but the morning brings a sobering effect.
