Adios Buenos Aires

A heartwarming and sweet drama about the charming Julio Färber and his tango band. Can they keep afloat with a country in the middle of an economic crisis?

Julio plans to leave Buenos Aires because he sees no future there. Argentina is grappling with significant economic problems in 2001, for which many hold the authorities responsible. Julio, his daughter, and his mother are moving to Berlin to start a new life.

He owns a shoe store that his father started, and it's struggling to stay afloat. Julio also plays the accordion in a tango band, and at the local bar where they are currently paid with some empanadas. Eventually, they team up with a former star singer and secure some lucrative gigs. Julio crashes his car when he encounters a taxi driving recklessly. Over time, he gets to know the driver, Mariela, who is a woman that doesn't give up even when life presents challenges.
