The film won an Oscar for best short animation. Tango is a story about a room where many inhabitants have lived for years. But the director doesn't show their histories in time sequence. What happened to particular people is shown along with repetitions of stories of those who lived there before and the reality is reduced to absurdity and grotesque.

The film was nominated for an Oscar for best short animation. Maintained in the convention of a dream-like impression, a story of a man who comes to a mysterious, unfinished cathedral. The film was inspired by a short story by Jacek Dukaj, a renowned fantasy author, but you can also trace there the influence of paintings by Zdzisław Beksiński, Fernand Léger and Rembrandt, of Gothic architecture and buildings designed by Antonio Gaudi.

The film shows the relativity of events - facts, inconstancy of situations and impressions. The meaning of incident is stressed here, as incident is not only a playful element, but above all it lies in the dramatic uncertainty of life. The events are shown in an "image and sound symphony".
