They have found the soundtrack of the only surrealist film ever made in Argentina in 1936: "Tararira: Today's Bohemia." In a round trip between Argentina and Spain, they revisit historical moments of rupture that have been embedded within the family, intertwined with the tension between art and politics. Amparo, Mateo, Manuel, and Lucas set out to explore their family's history, embodying different family members like the Marx Brothers, in order to understand when it was that they lost everything.
