Academy Award Winner Gustavo Santaolalla (Best Original Score for both Babel and Brokeback Mountain) in 2008 followed an ensemble of iconic figures of tango from the 40s and 50s in their preparation to a mythical performance in the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Some are as famous in Argentina as international celebrities, others have chosen to remain well-kept secrets. For all, the concert was the culmination and recognition of an intense and solemn lifelong commitment to their art. This insightful documentary follows the extraordinary path that took an incomparable group of musicians to their, perhaps, last and greatest moment of glory. In the tradition of Buena Vista Social Club and the very best world music documentaries, you’ll find yourself swept up by the joy, the passion and the rhythm of this wonderful piece.
