Emerging in the mid-1980s, Don Cornelio y la Zona reached cult band status under the leadership and vocals of Palo Pandolfo, one of the greatest lyricists of Argentine rock. This "rockumental" reviews the band's brief yet intense career, from its underground beginnings to its belated recognition. It does so through a reunion of the band's surviving musicians (Pandolfo passed away in 2021, at the age of 56), and a compelling archive that includes the emergence, composition, and evolution of some key songs such as "Cenizas y diamantes" and "Ella vendrá".
