Rumba

Fiona and Dom teach at a school out in the country. What they share is Latin dancing; they teach during the week and collect trophies at competitions at weekends. One night, driving back from a competition, a man trying to kill himself appears in the middle of the road. Swerving to avoid him, they go into a wall. After the crash their lives are entirely changed: Fiona loses a leg and Dom loses his memory. They go on dancing anyway. Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy directed it together and all three star in it. Seventy-seven minutes. There is almost no dialogue; the film is built on silent cinema and mime. It screened in Critics' Week at Cannes in 2008.
