About Me

www.mangotangothemovie.com
MANGO TANGO is a black comedy/drama about a ballroom dancer from New York who, after several traumatic break-ups, undergoes therapy, falls in love with her therapist, a defeated environmentalist. Her life takes a shocking and eye opening turn when she goes on vacation to Germany.
Marianne Hettinger wrote the screenplay, directed, produced and starred in the movie. It was filmed on location in New York City, Augsburg, Germany, the German western woods and in the German Alps. The film is currently in post-production.
