I had the opportunity of seeing Mango Tango at a recent festival. This is Ms. Hettinger's first film and we look forward to seeing what else she has in store.
The story follows the loves and travails of a young woman seeking her true love soul mate, as we follow this woman from one bad relationship to another, the coda is provided by our heroine eating mangoes in the tub. The tango part of the title comes from her work a day profession which is that of dance instructor and competitive ballroom/tango dancer.
At times it feels as though the story veers off into odd sub plots, but at its heart is the age old search for love in the large and slightly tilted world.
She has a singular vision and a lovely warm hearted touch in her writing.
It also contains one of the most acrobatic sex scenes we have ever witnessed.
Go see Mango Tango.
