For Cecilia Robles, the short film Tinder Tango was a passion project.

The short film stars Cecilia Robles and Jordi Caballero, who co-wrote the script with Caballero. Robles directed the short.
Here’s a brief synopsis of the short film:
A dreamy Tinder match of two tango aficionados who meet for the first time, and it turns out to be a hell of a date.
