    • Synopsis
    • After the death of her husband, Eni Spinelli, mother of documentary filmmaker Kelly Cristina Spinelli, found herself without a partner - to dance and to share her life with. Years later, she solved part of the problem by hiring one of the so-called taxi dancers, young male dancers who come from the outskirts of Sao Paulo and charge up to 50 dollars a night to take elderly upper class women out to dance. In A Partner to Call My Own, Kelly follows her mother and four other women who hire taxi dancers, thus investigating loneliness, sexuality and privilege among elderly women.
