Presenter Asha Gill’s feet hardly touch the ground before she’s swept off them by tango artist Guillermo Alio. He invites her to become his ‘brush,’ as they dip their feet in oil paints and dance on canvas, creating abstract tango art. Asha hits the streets with Argentinean romeo Romulo Tirri visiting the famous Recoleta Cemetery - the resting place of Evita – and meets synthetic artist Nicola Constantino. She is bowled over by her surreal handbag decorated with human anuses! Nicola takes Asha to her studio and invites her to a contemporary artist’s dinner where the sculptural ‘chain of quail’ and the ‘vegetarian pig’ are a big hit with the guests.

Asha hooks up with local TV star Fierita and witnesses a minor miracle at a football match when Fierita’s beloved but struggling team beat the Argentine champions. Asha ends her adventure by dancing the Murga through the streets of Palermo…
