Tango and chess, international espionage, fraud and theft, dark alleys, dark sides of the soul and love - doomed and for life. Two people from different worlds - in the past a soldier and now a gigolo, a spy and a dexterous thief without a penny in his pocket Max Costa and used to luxury impenetrable socialite Mercedes Insunsa - play out a tense drama of fatal love and betrayal worthy of Hitchcock. The two have three brief encounters: in the 1920s, in the refined interiors of a transatlantic liner and in the slums of Buenos Aires; in 1930s Nice, when the shadow of all that was to come was already looming over Europe; and in Sorrento, during the furious battle between Chilean and Soviet grandmasters for the chess crown, in the 1960s, when life has passed and one can only look enviously at the young, bright-eyed and persistent, supporting them wherever possible. This is a story about the ardour of tango and the cold calculation of chess - but not only. It's a story of great love - but it's not all about love.
