The Last Applause: Tango Stories From Buenos Aires

German Kral

Germany | 2008 | 88mins | 35mm | Subtitled

The Last Applause tells the emotional story of a group of old forgotten tango singers from Buenos Aires, who for many years used to perform together in one of the city's most famous tango bars, the 'Bar El Chino'. After the owner of the bar mysteriously died in 2001, it was taken over by his widow and her new partner. Just a couple of weeks later, this incredible place lay in ruins. This documentary follows the lives of these forgotten tango singers from 1999 until today. It shows their struggle to earn a living after the closure of the bar during the country's biggest-ever economic crisis and their desperate dream to sing just one more time in front of an audience.
