SYNOPSIS
-Helena is a great hope of tango. She is deeply, passionately in love. When she successfully passes an audition with her band for a residency in a prestigious Buenos Aires theater, her career seems to take off. But she is then struck by a tragedy: the man she loves no longer loves her. For Helena, who lives and sings for love, it is the end of the road. Obsessed and tortured by this loss, Helena is unable to overcome his wounded heart and becomes a shadow of itself. But what would happen if she starts over somewhere else? What if she leaves behind his suffering and begin a new life in another country? Perhaps she would be able to give up her pain to slowly learn to live and love …
