The Tango of Our Childhood (Template:Langx, Template:Langx) is a 1984 Soviet-Armenian tragicomedy film written and directed by Albert Mkrtchyan and starring Frunzik Mkrtchyan (his brother) and Galya Novents. Novents' performance as a mother who struggles to raise her children during post-World War II Armenia was awarded Special Mention at the Venice Film Festival. Mkrtchyan dedicated the autobiographical story to his hometown of Gyumri.[1][2] The filming locations highlighted the historic buildings of Gyumri which were marked for preservation as the Kumayri Reserve in 1980.[3] The New York Times described Novents' performance as that of "a kind of Anna Magnani earth mother who acts at the top of her lungs."[4]

Plot

The film is set in Leninakan (now Gyumri) in the aftermath of World War II.[5] Novents portrays a wife whose husband has left her and their three children for his wife's best friend.
