A heartbroken man, a chaotic city, and songs that say everything he can't.
A broken heart makes Sergio reject the city......A city full of late adolescents, girls that make you cry, drunks worried about matters they couldn´t handle even sober...and songs that say all that they would have wanted to say (if they knew that they needed to say something)
Writing
Dialogue that feels like eavesdropping on strangers' therapy sessions.
Cinematography
Buenos Aires shot like a character who's also going through it.
Acting
Tort's Sergio: all charm, no plan, devastatingly relatable.
Director
Augusto González Polo
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title references a famous Argentine tango, but the film subverts romantic nationalism — Buenos Aires here is neither paradise nor trap, just a place where people happen to hurt in public.
Director Augusto González Polo cast mostly non-professional actors found in actual Buenos Aires bars; Alfonso Tort was a musician before this, his rawness in the role completely unstudied.
