    • The Aguilar Brothers, descendants of the famous and forgotten Aguilar Quartet find the soundtrack of the only surrealist film made in Argentina, in 1936: "Tararira: today's bohemia" (Benjamin Fondane).
      The interest in the film, which is a great myth of national cinema, reunites them with parts of the family's past that they do not know: fights between siblings, links with politics with a notable tare to always be on the side of the defeated.
      On a round trip between Argentina, Spain and France they review historical moments of rupture that have been within the family, crossed by the art / political tension.
      Amparo, Mateo, Manuel and Lucas are preparing to review this family history, interpreting which Marx brothers to different family characters to understand when we lost almost everything.
