Summary: World-renowned pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim returns to his native Buenos Aires to rediscover his roots and the birthplace of tango.

World-renowned pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim returns to his native Buenos Aires to rediscover his roots and the birthplace of tango. Through interviews and archive footage, the documentary manages to capture the spirit of early 20th century Buenos Aires and the optimism of immigrant communities living in its poorer suburbs. Barenboim’s strong sense of cultural identity shines through as he demonstrates tango styles and techniques, and brings the music of Gardel, Salgán, Píazzolla and Ginastera to life in performances with Rodolfo Mederos and Hector Console, and in a thrilling partnership with Placido Domingo.
