THE BEST OF LOVE
Hail Mary,
full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour
of our death. Amen.
Hail Mary,
full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Yes, I understand. But I just got back,
I've been there all week.
Just a sec...
Rodrigo! Cut it out!
-...and blessed is...
-We must get up early tomorrow!
-Rodrigo!
-Holy Mary, Mother of God...
♪Hello, my name is Luis♪
♪Lover by profession♪
-♪Blonds, brunettes♪
-Rodrigo, didn't you hear me?
-No.
-Why are you dressed like that?
Go to sleep!
-Can I go with you?
-I told you
we're not going to discuss that
until you finish your studies, ok?
I want to sing.
-What will you do for a living?
-Music, like you.
That's still a ways off, Rodrigo.
Go to sleep, will you!?
You have to give it your all.
Whether it's a thousand people or one.
You have to give it your best.
Who knows?
Maybe there's someone in the crowd
that wants to hire you.
Not a lot of people showed up.

There's nothing here.
Buenos Aires is rough.
Bad environments.
-Let him finish school and then we'll see.
-School?
He's not going to school, he got expelled.
What do you mean he got expelled?
You never told me.
I can never tell you, you’re never here.
Please.
Ok, I'm going to go...
to the school, to talk
with the principal...
I've do that, they don't want him.
He cuts classes, sneaks out,
plays music with his friends.
You want to help him?
Take him to Buenos Aires.
Because Rodrigo
only wants to sing.
He goes against my wishes,
against the order of things.
What should I do?
I'll do it.
He doesn't have material.
He needs to have a good repertoire,
he has to record a song.
You can't just go to Buenos Aires.
Stop, stop.
-Put in an A. Yes.
-A minor?
And please play on tempo.
Go fuck yourself.
-Let's go.
-One, two, three, four.

It's good that you guys are rehearsing.
-Yeah.
-I'm glad.
The song is ready.
Shall we show him?

Later, I'm tired.
Two minutes.

-Listen to it...
Now I'm taking this.
-No, don't take them.
-Keep working.
No, sir, don't take them.

-No, who?
That's my son,
Rodrigo.
Won't you look at that? He sings.
Do you think there's something there?
Bring him over, we'll see.
What's that place?
The Luna Park.
Oh, the Luna Park.
It's a huge stadium, really important.
Here's where the great ones
established themselves. Gatica,
Nicolino Locche,
Bonavena.
This is where
they payed tribute to Gardel.
-Gardel?
-Mhm.
You need to be talented
to fill that place up.
Some day I'm going
to bring you here, Ro.
He's taking so long.
Rodrigo.
Put out the cigarette,
you can't smoke in here.
Hey Bear.
-How are you?
-Good, you?
This is my wife.
How do you do?
That's Rodrigo, my son.
-Hey, how're you?
-Hello.
-Good?
-Good.
-What do I have to do?
-Nothing, relax.
Go change in the dressing room.
-There?
-I'll go with you.
We'll talk later.
-This is live, right, Bear?
-Yes.
-There we go.
-That's good, Mom.
Shh.
That's it.
I prefer it like this.
You look handsome.
You look beautiful.
When you're done,
throw them at the girls.
-They'll go crazy for it.
-Yeah?
Did you practice?
-Yes.
-Let's see it.
No, look.
Mom's beautiful boy.
How much is it?
Eight to eleven hours?
Yes, we came straight here.
It’s not gonna work.
-Why not?
-No.
Gold, too much glitter. No.
-What's wrong with it?
-But it's his outfit, his personality.
This isn't for him.
Too cute, he'll break hearts.
So what are you saying?
What were you wearing?
Leather jacket? Jeans?
Boots, and what
you were wearing.
Go change, you’ll look hot.
Go, go. Go.
With those eyes,
jeans and leather, he's set.
Silence please! Attention!
Returning from break!
-Come here.
-Five, four, three, two!
-Come on.
-Thank you, director!
Can the crowd get up?
I want to see you!
We are live! Of course!

We have to go slow.
First the TV appearance,
now the music video, slowly.
Exactly, one step at a time.
Let the people get to know him.
We should aim for the girls.
I want her.
Marixa.
For the music video?
Someone else might be better.
-Tati's a bombshell.
-No, no.
She'll expect a big paycheck.
I want her.
I want it to be good, well made.
It's going to be good, son,
don't worry.
-Pick another one.
-No dad, no...
It's her.
-Mom, what're you doing here?
-Come. Sit down here.
What's wrong?
This is for the video.
Hold on, this is a lot.
Where'd you get this?
Don't worry about it,
just some jewelry I sold.
Oh, mom...
Thank you.
Really, thank you.
Don’t let others decide for you.
Stand strong, son.
You know what you want.
Bye, sweetie.
It's all going to work out.
Mom's here.
Mom's here.
You know what I want?
If you can shoot from below,
like the elevator one with the pants.
Know what I'm talking about?
Wait.
-What're you doing? You can't--
-Hello.
-How're you, darling? You good?
-Yes.
-Marixa, right?
-Yes.
-Give me your things.
-Yeah.
That's great.
Marixa, Rodrigo.
-Get in, he'll explain what to do.
-Hi.
Hi.
-What do I have to do?
-Nothing, ride up the elevator and a kiss.
Could the kiss be gentle?
So I don't smudge my makeup
-and have to redo it.
-Yeah.
Ready? Are you recording?
Now?
Music.

I wanna talk to you.
I'm going to Uruguay.
Will you?
To dance.
You're not going.
I got hired for a play.
And?
You're not going.
I don’t need your permission.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Hi.
-What's up, man?
-All good?
-All good.
Did you get nuts today?
-Went from pacifiers to tits, right?
-Oh shut up! Pass me the mate.
Here.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi.
-How're you?
This mate is cold,
heat up some more water.
What's this jerk doing?
Hey. That's ours.
Oh man, I'm sorry.
My bad, I didn't realize.
I'm sorry.
-What floor?
-Second floor.
Oh, second floor, right.
You're with...
-With Juje's band, right?
-Who's?
-Juje's band.
-No.
Juje's on the other side.
It gets rowdy over there.
It's just a couple of girls for a bit.
-Almost kicked us out.
-Did they?
-No.
-So?
What's the problem?
It's all good.
There's another party tonight.
It's not here, no scolding you.
You guys are invited.
It starts around ten.
Is the lovebird going?
Can you stop saying crap
for just one minute?
Maybe. What's your name?
Ángel.
And you?
Rodrigo.
-How long have you been here?
-Two days now.
How're you guys doing?
How many per night?
Four, five clubs.
Four or five clubs...
Cool.
Good for you, man. I'm glad.
A gift for you guys.
For last night.
And for the beer I took.
You said four or five per night?
With this you can do ten, bro.
Tell me.
Belgrano or Talleres?
-Belgrano, the pirate from Córdoba.
-Yeah.
-I'm keeping this, you keep that.
-Take it, man.
-Bye man, maybe I'll see you tonight.
-Bye.
-Who is that dude?
-This dude just waltz in.
-With the whole pointy hair thing.
-He's just an idiot.
He just walks in,
who even knows him?
Yes? Speak.
Hello, is Marixa there?
-Who is this?
-Rodrigo.
-With who am I speaking?
-Omar.
-Put Marixa on.
-Marixa's not here.
-What do you mean? Where is she?
-She's working, she went away.
Who are you?
-Rodrigo, didn't you hear me, asshole?
-Who the fuck are you, dickhead?
Damn it.
-What's up dude?
-What's up?
Everything good?
It's ok, man.
We going to the party?
Let's go.
Let's go then, dude.
-Where were you?
-Just walking around town a bit.
Oh. Where the fuck were you, dickhead?
I overslept, I'm sorry.
You overslept?
You fucked it up.
It's over.
Go.
What happened?
-What're you doing, Dad?
-You're going back.
Did you go crazy? What's wrong?
Did you go crazy?
Were were you?
I went out.
We looked for you for two days.
What? It's over?
-I fuck up once and you send me back?
-You can't fuck up at all!
We paid a lot of money
for this presentation.
And we lost it!
Tell me who I have to talk to.
I'll fix it.
You don't have to talk with anyone!
Don't you get it? You don't have to talk.
That's what Bear and I are for!
You have to do what we tell you to.
Is that so hard!?
I'm tired of you telling me
what I have to do.
All the time. What I have to wear.
At what time I have to go to bed.
What I have to sing.
That asshole just cussed at me.
Who does he think he is?
That "asshole"
is working just like I am!
Do you know who we're working for?
For you!
For your career!
For you to succeed.
I'm working my ass off too.
I'm not going anywhere.
Stop.
Over here.
Open the back door, unload everything.
Hot clothes.
-Here, take the old one.
-You never help with anything.
Hey! Set up, come on.
Hey, hey, what is it?
-Dad!
-Rodrigo!
Is he ok?
-Dad.
-I'll help you.
Dad, what's wrong? Get up, come on.
Help me, Bear!
-Dad? He fell down.
-Is he okay?
-What's wrong, boys?
-I'm taking him to the hospital.
-We'll be right back.
-No. Go in there and sing.
Go, son. I'm going to be fine.
I'll take him to the hospital. Go sing
and come by later. You, help me. Come on.
Let's go, Ro. Let's go.

-Wait, wait. Come.
-Where is he?
-Relax.
Come, come here.
Have a ciggie, Aunt?
-Are you ok?
-Huh?
What's wrong?
I thought about selling some furniture.
Or the piano.
But your mom won't want to.
We're in a lot of debt.
Didn't my dad leave any money?
We already used it.
We had to pay contracts,
the musicians salaries, everything.
I can't go on.
TIME COULD NOT TAKE AWAY GATICA
The best of love
Not knowing...
-Hello?
-Hello Bear.
How are you?
Who is this?
Rodrigo's mom.
Don't you recognize me?
I can't believe it. It's a miracle.
I know.
-How are you, Bear? It's been so long.
-I'm fine. Holding on.
What about you, guys?
The kid?
Hanging on.
With a lot of debt,
doing what we can.
I can imagine.
I'm also deep in debt.
Bear, it would be good
for Rodrigo to see you.
You think?
Yes, yes.
He’s playing a lovely song now.
He misses you, Bear.
He needs you.
-He's here.
-He's home.
Hi sweetie.
Come here. Come, sit.
Hey.
How are you?
You cut your hair.
-Yeah.
-Look at that.
Good.
Sit down.
He's so skinny. Look at him.
Everything ok?
-Good, you?
-Good.
Why are you here?
I came to see you.
-Everything ok?
-Yes, they're asking about you.
Who's asking?
Huh? People.
They just ask "How's he doing?
Where is he?"
Lots of people.
Eat some more, before it gets cold.
Bring more bread.
Hey so what're you up to?
Are you playing? Composing?
I won’t do anything.
But you used to make music.
-Did you do anything with that?
-Not really...
It’s OK.
More potatoes?
No. I have some.
You know, the record company
is looking for new material.
Give it to me.
It's cuarteto.
Well, we'll see.
You think Cuarteto
will work in Buenos Aires?
We can try.
Right?
Stop! Good.
-Rodrigo!
-What's up?
Bear's on the phone.
-Yes, Bear? What is it?
-They want to record the album.
-You need to be here by tomorrow.
-Tomorrow?
I'll send you the money,
meet you here.
They loved the material
you gave me.
Really?
Yes, kid! I told you we were going to
be a hit. Come and we can celebrate.
Hey, wait. I'm not going alone.
-I'm taking my musicians.
-What?
Everything's set up here, I have
some great musicians here, Ro.
But do you wanna get together
to sing lullabies or cuarteto?
Listen, man.
Cuarteto is from Córdoba,
so the musicians should be too.
Ok kid, they can come too,
damn it.
-Got it, Bear. Goodbye.
-Bye.
Gentlemen,
we're going to Buenos Aires, man!
Stop, you packed it all wrong, man.
And you? What are you listening to?
It’s the Rolling Stones.
Performing live! Hailing from Cordoba
with all their cuarteto groove!
We used to call him The Baby,
but now he's been reborn,
and he's El Potro!
El Potro! El Potro...
Rodrigo!

I'll be back.
What are you doing up?
Go to sleep.
He hasn't been home in 3 days.
Where is he?
Son of a bitch.

Yes, they're ok.

-Yes.
Listen to me.
I don't want her to be alone.
I can't help her. I work all day long.
Don't worry, they're with me.
I'll take care of them.
Ok, bye.
Hi.
Wanna pick him up?
I'm all dirty.
Go wash yourself.
Sit down.

-Careful with his head.
There you go.
Careful.

Hello?
How are, you kid? Everything good

Good, good.
He's here sleeping.

-Listen, I need you here tomorrow.
No, Bear, I can't right now.
I want to stay here.
I get it, kid, but we have to work.
Yes, I know.
Okay Ro, but what do we do?
Come during the weekend then.
-I'll be there on Saturday.
-Great, see you then, bye.
You have to leave, right?
You'll be ok here.
My mom and Nati

When will you return?
Whenever I can.
I want to be with my family.
But I need to work.

-Look at you, man, I can't believe it.
-What's up?
-Everything good?
Hey man, can I come in?
Yes, since when
do you ask for permission?
I have some good stuff, man.
Let's see it.
-What is it?
-Open it, take a look.
No!
You're crazy, man!
For the champ, man!
For the champ.
You said you'd meet me
2 hours ago.
What the fuck happened?
Well, I'm here now, man.
-Just drop it.
-Green hair, really?
Huh?
What did you do to your hair?
Do you copy? Get the musicians going,
we're almost there.
-Ready.

Hi.
Hi.
Are you dancing on a show?
No, not anymore.
How are you?
I'm good.
Your son?
He's alright, in Córdoba.
You?
Good, I'm good.
With a lot of work.
I'm going to Miami tomorrow.
-Ok...
-I missed you a lot.
Did you miss me?
You cut your hair.
Listen to me.
-Who are you going to Miami with?
-Good morning, come in.
I'm asking you a question.
-I can't hear you.
-Well, then come closer!
Who are you going to Miami with?
Why are you talking to me like that? Huh?
Talking to me like that? You have a kid.
Doing whatever you want while your wife is
in Córdoba? And I can't do what I want?
What's wrong with you?
You’ll see!
What do you do?
Rodrigo, open the door!
Open the door!
Son of a bitch!
Come on guys! Why are we still here?
Let's go! Come on!
Should we go now?
-They're finishing up.
-Let's go now.
-We go after them.
-Stop, it's just two songs.
I want to go out now.
-I’m out.
-Relax.
Relax? Don't make me go crazy, Bear!
-Let's go, man!
-Now?
Wait a second.
Go, go, come on.
Come on, quickly!
Let go of that.
What're you doing!?
Lovely music, huh?
You’ll listen to good music
and dance to it too.
Know why? Because this is
cuarteto from Córdoba's capital.
Capital of what!?
-Of what!?
-Of cuarteto, damn it!
Hey.
Did you give him something?
What was it?
A little something...
What're you doing?
-Stop...
-If you ever come back
I will beat you up.
Chill out, Bear.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?
I'm staying here.
I'm here, it's okay.
Hello.
-Did I wake you up?
-Yeah.
I called you many times.
Where were you?
Working, a lot.
How are you? And the boy?
He's better now.
Had a fever.
A fever?
Did you see a doctor?
Yes, yes.
He had a virus, he's ok now.
Put him on the phone.
I'll put him on.
Rami, come here. It's Dad.
Hi, son.
It's dad talking.
How are you?
I sent you some toys, I’ll send more.
I miss you.
I love you, my king.
Sweetie.
Give it to me.
When are you coming back?
Or should we go there?
I have a lot of work, they take me
from one place to the next.
Relax, I'll come back in a few days.
But we hadn't agreed on this,
I don't want to stay here.
Relax. Is anything wrong?
We miss you.
We could come over
and stay at the hotel.
Can't we be together,
the three of us?
I miss you too.
I'll come back in a few days.
Take care of the boy for me.
Hey...
You got the money, right?
Yes.
Smile for me.
What do you mean?
We're on the phone.
I can tell, I know you.
-Come on.
-You nuts.
I hate you.
I love you.
Me too. Bye.
I suffered the same.
He went out to work.
And I raised my kid.
We didn't see each other much.
But he always came back.
We always had everything we needed.
No. But I don't want that.
I want us to be together.
But he was like that
when you met him.
Pull on the net, it's loose.
You'll have time to be together.
He's becoming bigger.
What he has he owes to his crowd.
He's an artist.
Hey.
What is it?
Roundabout.
Roundabout.
The cops.
Where?
-Where?
-What're you saying?
Don't give him anymore to smoke.
What's wrong?
Hey, hey, hey!
Again!?
-Roundabout?
-No.
Woof-woof.

-Thank you.
-Call me.
-Bye boy, bye.
-This place is nice, right?
-Yeah.
It's down the hall,

We're going to have a lot of fun.
Sure!
Hello, how are you?
-Do I look good?
-Yes, you look great.
Bye.
Hello.
Where were you?
We've been looking for you for days.
-What is it? Who is this?
-Your mother.
-Can you hear me?
-Yes, what is it? Relax.
Pato left.
-She took the kid, we couldn't stop her.
-What?
Pato left. She took the kid.
What do you want?
What happened?
Why did you take the kid?
You have no right to ask to see the kid.
-Listen to me.
-You listen to me, Rodrigo.
I saw you last night.
I saw everything.
You're a jerk.
You can't do this to me. Bring me my son.
Patricia.
Patricia!
Patricia, bring me my son,
you fucking cunt!
-What's wrong?
-Call Ángel for me.
-No, Bear kicked him out.
-You're not listening to me, call Ángel.
-He's forbidden us from calling him.
-Who?
-What's wrong?
-Is it you?
Don’t need to tell you
who my friends are.
-Ángel is your friend?
-Yes, he is, son of a bitch.
-Chill out, they're going to kick us out.
-Chill out my ass.
-Call Ángel.
-Angel isn't allowed here.
If I see him,
I'll kick his ass out of here.
Are we clear?
Here.
Go inside.
Wait for me girl, wait inside.
Open, kid.
It's me, come on.
Hey!
Open up, kid!
Hey, be careful, hey!
Kid!
What did you do?
Hey!
What did you do?
Help me, Bear.
I'll help you, I'll help you.
Take it easy!
It's ok, I'll stay with you. Ok?

-What do you want?
Where is Ramiro?
With my mom.
I want to see him, talk to him.
To see him you need to be ok.
I'm ok.
I'll call you.

I'll tell him.

Wow man, look at this place.
There are four dates.
-We have to fill this place up.
-We'll fill it up, Bear.
We'll fill it up, man.
Stop.
The crowd goes here.
We disassemble the ring.
The stage goes over there.
Yeah.
Don't disassemble anything.
-Huh?
-The ring.
I want the ring on the stage.
You want the ring there?
You're crazy, kid.

And finally the day has arrived.
Please clap for Rodrigo
"El Potro" from Córdoba!
-Welcome!
-Hi! How are you?
Glad that you're with us.
Are you aware that you made
a whole country sing "I'm from Córdoba"?
-Crazy, right?
-Totally crazy!
Tell me, how did "cuarteto" come to be?
"Cuarteto" is a mix of 2 different genres.
A woman invented it.
Really? I thought it was a man.
-La Leo, darling.
-Leonardo? Right?
-Right?
-No, Leonor Marzano.
-She's the creator.
-Wasn't she modern?
It was just a few people.
-Now you're a bunch.
-We used to be 4.
-Yes.
-Now we're 13 musicians, musicians!
-Really?
-Yes.
Here in Buenos Aires
they'll be playing in the Luna Park,
of all places! That's amazing!
The Luna Park!
I think he's coming.
Ro! Rodrigo!
Can I get your autograph?
-Please. It's for a friend of mine.
-For a friend? Not for you?
Ro, pick me, please pick me!
Rodrigo, I love you!
I love him! Potro!
RODRIGO, IN LOVE
-Hi.
-Hi.
How are you?
Okay.
You?
-Better, right?
-Yes, better.
How's Rami?
When can I see him?
I don't know, I'm working right now.
We'll figure it out later.
I miss him a lot.
He misses you too.
I'm playing in the Luna Park.
Okay.
That's good.
I thought that maybe
it'd be good for the two of you to come.
Maybe.
I'm good, Pato.
I'm better.
Please come.

On June 24th of the year 2000,
Rodrigo Alejandro Bueno
dies at the age of 27.
The singer was returning
from a show he'd done
at the club "Escándalo" in City Bell.
Fernando Olmedo lost his life
in the same accident.
Travelling with him were Patricia Pacheco,
Ramiro Pacheco Bueno, Jorge Moreno
and Aldo Pereyra, who suffered injuries
but managed to survive.
This movie is dedicated to everyone
who directly or indirectly suffered
from the loss of a loved one
in this tragic accident.
With his music,
Rodrigo has been able to transcend

That's still a ways off, Rodrigo.
Go to sleep, will you!?
You have to give it your all.
Whether it's a thousand people or one.
You have to give it your best.

Buenos Aires is rough.
Bad environments.
-Let him finish school and then we'll see.
-School?
He's not going to school, he got expelled.
What do you mean he got expelled?
You never told me.
I can never tell you, you’re never here.
Please.
Ok, I'm going to go...
to the school, to talk
with the principal...
I've do that, they don't want him.
He cuts classes, sneaks out,
plays music with his friends.
You want to help him?
Take him to Buenos Aires.
Because Rodrigo
only wants to sing.
He goes against my wishes,
against the order of things.
What should I do?
I'll do it.
He doesn't have material.
He needs to have a good repertoire,
he has to record a song.
You can't just go to Buenos Aires.
Stop, stop.
-Put in an A. Yes.
-A minor?
And please play on tempo.
Go fuck yourself.
-Let's go.
-One, two, three, four.

-Do you know who that is?
-No, who?
That's my son,
Rodrigo.
Won't you look at that? He sings.
Do you think there's something there?
Bring him over, we'll see.
What's that place?
The Luna Park.
Oh, the Luna Park.
It's a huge stadium, really important.
Here's where the great ones
established themselves. Gatica,
Nicolino Locche,
Bonavena.
This is where
they payed tribute to Gardel.
-Gardel?
-Mhm.
You need to be talented
to fill that place up.
Some day I'm going
to bring you here, Ro.
He's taking so long.
Rodrigo.
Put out the cigarette,
you can't smoke in here.
Hey Bear.
-How are you?
-Good, you?
This is my wife.
How do you do?
That's Rodrigo, my son.
-Hey, how're you?
-Hello.
-Good?
-Good.
-What do I have to do?
-Nothing, relax.
Go change in the dressing room.
-There?
-I'll go with you.
We'll talk later.
-This is live, right, Bear?
-Yes.
-There we go.
-That's good, Mom.
Shh.
That's it.
I prefer it like this.
You look handsome.
You look beautiful.
When you're done,
throw them at the girls.
-They'll go crazy for it.
-Yeah?
Did you practice?
-Yes.
-Let's see it.
No, look.
Mom's beautiful boy.
How much is it?
Eight to eleven hours?
Yes, we came straight here.
It’s not gonna work.
-Why not?
-No.
Gold, too much glitter. No.
-What's wrong with it?
-But it's his outfit, his personality.
This isn't for him.
Too cute, he'll break hearts.
So what are you saying?
What were you wearing?
Leather jacket? Jeans?
Boots, and what
you were wearing.
Go change, you’ll look hot.
Go, go. Go.
With those eyes,
jeans and leather, he's set.
Silence please! Attention!
Returning from break!
-Come here.
-Five, four, three, two!
-Come on.
-Thank you, director!
Can the crowd get up?
I want to see you!
We are live! Of course!

We have to go slow.
First the TV appearance,
now the music video, slowly.
Exactly, one step at a time.
Let the people get to know him.
We should aim for the girls.
I want her.
Marixa.
For the music video?
Someone else might be better.
-Tati's a bombshell.
-No, no.
She'll expect a big paycheck.
I want her.
I want it to be good, well made.
It's going to be good, son,
don't worry.
-Pick another one.
-No dad, no...
It's her.
-Mom, what're you doing here?
-Come. Sit down here.
What's wrong?
This is for the video.
Hold on, this is a lot.
Where'd you get this?
Don't worry about it,
just some jewelry I sold.
Oh, mom...
Thank you.
Really, thank you.
Don’t let others decide for you.
Stand strong, son.
You know what you want.
Bye, sweetie.
It's all going to work out.
Mom's here.
Mom's here.
You know what I want?
If you can shoot from below,
like the elevator one with the pants.
Know what I'm talking about?
Wait.
-What're you doing? You can't--
-Hello.
-How're you, darling? You good?
-Yes.
-Marixa, right?
-Yes.
-Give me your things.
-Yeah.
That's great.
Marixa, Rodrigo.
-Get in, he'll explain what to do.
-Hi.
Hi.
-What do I have to do?
-Nothing, ride up the elevator and a kiss.
Could the kiss be gentle?
So I don't smudge my makeup
-and have to redo it.
-Yeah.
Ready? Are you recording?
Now?
Music.

I wanna talk to you.
I'm going to Uruguay.
Will you?
To dance.
You're not going.
I got hired for a play.
And?
You're not going.
I don’t need your permission.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Hi.
-What's up, man?
-All good?
-All good.
Did you get nuts today?
-Went from pacifiers to tits, right?
-Oh shut up! Pass me the mate.
Here.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi.
-How're you?
This mate is cold,
heat up some more water.
What's this jerk doing?
Hey. That's ours.
Oh man, I'm sorry.
My bad, I didn't realize.
I'm sorry.
-What floor?
-Second floor.
Oh, second floor, right.
You're with...
-With Juje's band, right?
-Who's?
-Juje's band.
-No.
Juje's on the other side.
It gets rowdy over there.
It's just a couple of girls for a bit.
-Almost kicked us out.
-Did they?
-No.
-So?
What's the problem?
It's all good.
There's another party tonight.
It's not here, no scolding you.
You guys are invited.
It starts around ten.
Is the lovebird going?
Can you stop saying crap
for just one minute?
Maybe. What's your name?
Ángel.
And you?
Rodrigo.
-How long have you been here?
-Two days now.
How're you guys doing?
How many per night?
Four, five clubs.
Four or five clubs...
Cool.
Good for you, man. I'm glad.
A gift for you guys.
For last night.
And for the beer I took.
You said four or five per night?
With this you can do ten, bro.
Tell me.
Belgrano or Talleres?
-Belgrano, the pirate from Córdoba.
-Yeah.
-I'm keeping this, you keep that.
-Take it, man.
-Bye man, maybe I'll see you tonight.
-Bye.
-Who is that dude?
-This dude just waltz in.
-With the whole pointy hair thing.
-He's just an idiot.
He just walks in,
who even knows him?
Yes? Speak.
Hello, is Marixa there?
-Who is this?
-Rodrigo.
-With who am I speaking?
-Omar.
-Put Marixa on.
-Marixa's not here.
-What do you mean? Where is she?
-She's working, she went away.
Who are you?
-Rodrigo, didn't you hear me, asshole?
-Who the fuck are you, dickhead?
Damn it.
-What's up dude?
-What's up?
Everything good?
It's ok, man.
We going to the party?
Let's go.
Let's go then, dude.
-Where were you?
-Just walking around town a bit.
Oh. Where the fuck were you, dickhead?
I overslept, I'm sorry.
You overslept?
You fucked it up.
It's over.
Go.
What happened?
-What're you doing, Dad?
-You're going back.
Did you go crazy? What's wrong?
Did you go crazy?
Were were you?
I went out.
We looked for you for two days.
What? It's over?
-I fuck up once and you send me back?
-You can't fuck up at all!
We paid a lot of money
for this presentation.
And we lost it!
Tell me who I have to talk to.
I'll fix it.
You don't have to talk with anyone!
Don't you get it? You don't have to talk.
That's what Bear and I are for!
You have to do what we tell you to.
Is that so hard!?
I'm tired of you telling me
what I have to do.
All the time. What I have to wear.
At what time I have to go to bed.
What I have to sing.
That asshole just cussed at me.
Who does he think he is?
That "asshole"
is working just like I am!
Do you know who we're working for?
For you!
For your career!
For you to succeed.
I'm working my ass off too.
I'm not going anywhere.
Stop.
Over here.
Open the back door, unload everything.
Hot clothes.
-Here, take the old one.
-You never help with anything.
Hey! Set up, come on.
Hey, hey, what is it?
-Dad!
-Rodrigo!
Is he ok?
-Dad.
-I'll help you.
Dad, what's wrong? Get up, come on.
Help me, Bear!
-Dad? He fell down.
-Is he okay?
-What's wrong, boys?
-I'm taking him to the hospital.
-We'll be right back.
-No. Go in there and sing.
Go, son. I'm going to be fine.
I'll take him to the hospital. Go sing
and come by later. You, help me. Come on.
Let's go, Ro. Let's go.

-Wait, wait. Come.
-Where is he?
-Relax.
Come, come here.
Have a ciggie, Aunt?
-Are you ok?
-Huh?
What's wrong?
I thought about selling some furniture.
Or the piano.
But your mom won't want to.
We're in a lot of debt.
Didn't my dad leave any money?
We already used it.
We had to pay contracts,
the musicians salaries, everything.
I can't go on.
TIME COULD NOT TAKE AWAY GATICA

Not knowing...
-Hello?
-Hello Bear.
How are you?
Who is this?
Rodrigo's mom.
Don't you recognize me?
I can't believe it. It's a miracle.
I know.
-How are you, Bear? It's been so long.
-I'm fine. Holding on.
What about you, guys?
The kid?
Hanging on.
With a lot of debt,
doing what we can.
I can imagine.
I'm also deep in debt.
Bear, it would be good
for Rodrigo to see you.
You think?
Yes, yes.
He’s playing a lovely song now.
He misses you, Bear.
He needs you.
-He's here.
-He's home.
Hi sweetie.
Come here. Come, sit.
Hey.
How are you?
You cut your hair.
-Yeah.
-Look at that.
Good.
Sit down.
He's so skinny. Look at him.
Everything ok?
-Good, you?
-Good.
Why are you here?
I came to see you.
-Everything ok?
-Yes, they're asking about you.
Who's asking?
Huh? People.
They just ask "How's he doing?
Where is he?"
Lots of people.
Eat some more, before it gets cold.
Bring more bread.
Hey so what're you up to?
Are you playing? Composing?
I won’t do anything.
But you used to make music.
-Did you do anything with that?
-Not really...
It’s OK.
More potatoes?
No. I have some.
You know, the record company
is looking for new material.
Give it to me.
It's cuarteto.
Well, we'll see.
You think Cuarteto
will work in Buenos Aires?
We can try.
Right?
Stop! Good.
-Rodrigo!
-What's up?
Bear's on the phone.
-Yes, Bear? What is it?
-They want to record the album.
-You need to be here by tomorrow.
-Tomorrow?
I'll send you the money,
meet you here.
They loved the material
you gave me.
Really?
Yes, kid! I told you we were going to
be a hit. Come and we can celebrate.
Hey, wait. I'm not going alone.
-I'm taking my musicians.
-What?
Everything's set up here, I have
some great musicians here, Ro.
But do you wanna get together
to sing lullabies or cuarteto?
Listen, man.
Cuarteto is from Córdoba,
so the musicians should be too.
Ok kid, they can come too,
damn it.
-Got it, Bear. Goodbye.
-Bye.
Gentlemen,
we're going to Buenos Aires, man!
Stop, you packed it all wrong, man.
And you? What are you listening to?
It’s the Rolling Stones.
Performing live! Hailing from Cordoba
with all their cuarteto groove!
We used to call him The Baby,
but now he's been reborn,
and he's El Potro!
El Potro! El Potro...
Rodrigo!

Hi.
Hi.
Are you dancing on a show?
No, not anymore.
How are you?
I'm good.
Your son?
He's alright, in Córdoba.
You?
Good, I'm good.
With a lot of work.
I'm going to Miami tomorrow.
-Ok...
-I missed you a lot.
Did you miss me?
You cut your hair.
Listen to me.
-Who are you going to Miami with?
-Good morning, come in.
I'm asking you a question.
-I can't hear you.
-Well, then come closer!
Who are you going to Miami with?
Why are you talking to me like that? Huh?
Talking to me like that? You have a kid.
Doing whatever you want while your wife is
in Córdoba? And I can't do what I want?
What's wrong with you?
You’ll see!
What do you do?
Rodrigo, open the door!
Open the door!
Son of a bitch!
Come on guys! Why are we still here?
Let's go! Come on!
Should we go now?
-They're finishing up.
-Let's go now.
-We go after them.
-Stop, it's just two songs.
I want to go out now.
-I’m out.
-Relax.
Relax? Don't make me go crazy, Bear!
-Let's go, man!
-Now?
Wait a second.
Go, go, come on.
Come on, quickly!
Let go of that.
What're you doing!?
Lovely music, huh?
You’ll listen to good music
and dance to it too.
Know why? Because this is
cuarteto from Córdoba's capital.
Capital of what!?
-Of what!?
-Of cuarteto, damn it!
Hey.
Did you give him something?
What was it?
A little something...
What're you doing?
-Stop...
-If you ever come back
I will beat you up.
Chill out, Bear.
♪I don't feel okay playing the saint♪
♪It always goes like this♪
♪Every single time♪
♪You leave me for him
And leave me alone♪
♪And oh the irony, my darling♪
♪He gives you nothing♪
♪While I offer my entire life♪
♪From just looking in your eyes♪
♪And oh the irony, my darling♪
♪He gives you nothing♪
♪While I am always here for you♪
♪The only one who loves you♪
What do you want, idiot?
What do you want, idiot?
You wanna fight?
I'm gonna kill you, dickhead!
-I'm here, asshole, what do you want?
-What's wrong with you?
Stop fighting, damn it.
-Stop!
-Let go!
Let go of me, Bear!
I'm gonna kill you, son of a bitch!
Let go of me, Bear!
-Let go of me!
-Stop it.
Let me go! I'll kill those fags!
Let go of me!
I want to kill those fags!
-Come here!
-Let go of me, son of a bitch!
Let go of me!
Why didn't you let them kill me?
You want them to kill you?
Is that what you want, asshole?
Relax! Stop!
Stop, kid!
You're making me go crazy!
You're making me sick in the head!
Why the fuck did I bring you back?
Prick!
-Kid!
-I'll kill you too, son of a bitch!
-I'm going to kill you...
-You?
-I'm going to kill you.
-Why are you going to kill me?
You have a great future ahead of you, kid.
Why are you doing this?
-Let go of me.
-Relax, kid.
-Let go of me, Bear.
-Relax, it's over.
Let go of me, Bear.
I'm not going anywhere, okay?
I'm staying here.
I'm here, it's okay.
Hello.
-Did I wake you up?
-Yeah.
I called you many times.
Where were you?
Working, a lot.
How are you? And the boy?
He's better now.
Had a fever.
A fever?
Did you see a doctor?
Yes, yes.
He had a virus, he's ok now.
Put him on the phone.
I'll put him on.
Rami, come here. It's Dad.
Hi, son.
It's dad talking.
How are you?
I sent you some toys, I’ll send more.
I miss you.
I love you, my king.
Sweetie.
Give it to me.
When are you coming back?
Or should we go there?
I have a lot of work, they take me
from one place to the next.
Relax, I'll come back in a few days.
But we hadn't agreed on this,
I don't want to stay here.
Relax. Is anything wrong?
We miss you.
We could come over
and stay at the hotel.
Can't we be together,
the three of us?
I miss you too.
I'll come back in a few days.
Take care of the boy for me.
Hey...
You got the money, right?
Yes.
Smile for me.
What do you mean?
We're on the phone.
I can tell, I know you.
-Come on.
-You nuts.
I hate you.
I love you.
Me too. Bye.
I suffered the same.
He went out to work.
And I raised my kid.
We didn't see each other much.
But he always came back.
We always had everything we needed.
No. But I don't want that.
I want us to be together.
But he was like that
when you met him.
Pull on the net, it's loose.
You'll have time to be together.
He's becoming bigger.
What he has he owes to his crowd.
He's an artist.
Hey.
What is it?
Roundabout.
Roundabout.
The cops.
Where?
-Where?
-What're you saying?
Don't give him anymore to smoke.
What's wrong?
Hey, hey, hey!
Again!?
-Roundabout?
-No.
Woof-woof.

It's okay, Rami.
-Take care, girl.
-Thank you.
-Call me.
-Bye boy, bye.
-This place is nice, right?
-Yeah.
It's down the hall,
on the second floor.
We're going to have a lot of fun.
Sure!
Hello, how are you?
-Do I look good?
-Yes, you look great.
Bye.
Hello.
Where were you?
We've been looking for you for days.
-What is it? Who is this?
-Your mother.
-Can you hear me?
-Yes, what is it? Relax.
Pato left.
-She took the kid, we couldn't stop her.
-What?
Pato left. She took the kid.
What do you want?
What happened?
Why did you take the kid?
You have no right to ask to see the kid.
-Listen to me.
-You listen to me, Rodrigo.
I saw you last night.
I saw everything.
You're a jerk.
You can't do this to me. Bring me my son.
Patricia.
Patricia!
Patricia, bring me my son,
you fucking cunt!
-What's wrong?
-Call Ángel for me.
-No, Bear kicked him out.
-You're not listening to me, call Ángel.
-He's forbidden us from calling him.
-Who?
-What's wrong?
-Is it you?
Don’t need to tell you
who my friends are.
-Ángel is your friend?
-Yes, he is, son of a bitch.
-Chill out, they're going to kick us out.
-Chill out my ass.
-Call Ángel.
-Angel isn't allowed here.
If I see him,
I'll kick his ass out of here.
Are we clear?
Here.
Go inside.
Wait for me girl, wait inside.
Open, kid.
It's me, come on.
Hey!
Open up, kid!
Hey, be careful, hey!
Kid!
What did you do?
Hey!
What did you do?
Help me, Bear.
I'll help you, I'll help you.
Take it easy!
It's ok, I'll stay with you. Ok?
Relax.
Kid.
Ok, ok.
Relax.
I'll stay here with you.
Mom will always be there for you.
Did you hear me?
I love you, son.
One five eight three, right? Good.
Yes.
Yes, it'll be there

Yes, excuse me.
Thank you.
-Here, it's all written down there.

-What do you want?
Where is Ramiro?
With my mom.
I want to see him, talk to him.
To see him you need to be ok.
I'm ok.
I'll call you.

Wow man, look at this place.
There are four dates.
-We have to fill this place up.
-We'll fill it up, Bear.
We'll fill it up, man.
Stop.
The crowd goes here.
We disassemble the ring.
The stage goes over there.
Yeah.
Don't disassemble anything.
-Huh?
-The ring.
I want the ring on the stage.
You want the ring there?
You're crazy, kid.
Float like a butterfly.
Stings like a bee.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
Listen.
Ro, Ro, Ro.
What a guy!
And finally the day has arrived.
Please clap for Rodrigo
"El Potro" from Córdoba!
-Welcome!
-Hi! How are you?
Glad that you're with us.
Are you aware that you made
a whole country sing "I'm from Córdoba"?
-Crazy, right?
-Totally crazy!
Tell me, how did "cuarteto" come to be?
"Cuarteto" is a mix of 2 different genres.
A woman invented it.
Really? I thought it was a man.
-La Leo, darling.
-Leonardo? Right?
-Right?
-No, Leonor Marzano.
-She's the creator.
-Wasn't she modern?
It was just a few people.
-Now you're a bunch.
-We used to be 4.
-Yes.
-Now we're 13 musicians, musicians!
-Really?
-Yes.
Here in Buenos Aires
they'll be playing in the Luna Park,
of all places! That's amazing!
The Luna Park!
I think he's coming.
Ro! Rodrigo!
Can I get your autograph?
-Please. It's for a friend of mine.
-For a friend? Not for you?
Ro, pick me, please pick me!
Rodrigo, I love you!
I love him! Potro!
RODRIGO, IN LOVE
-Hi.
-Hi.
How are you?
Okay.
You?
-Better, right?
-Yes, better.
How's Rami?
When can I see him?
I don't know, I'm working right now.
We'll figure it out later.
I miss him a lot.
He misses you too.
I'm playing in the Luna Park.
Okay.
That's good.
I thought that maybe
it'd be good for the two of you to come.
Maybe.
I'm good, Pato.
I'm better.
Please come.

On June 24th of the year 2000,
Rodrigo Alejandro Bueno
dies at the age of 27.
The singer was returning
from a show he'd done
at the club "Escándalo" in City Bell.
Fernando Olmedo lost his life
in the same accident.
Travelling with him were Patricia Pacheco,
Ramiro Pacheco Bueno, Jorge Moreno
and Aldo Pereyra, who suffered injuries
but managed to survive.
This movie is dedicated to everyone
who directly or indirectly suffered
from the loss of a loved one
in this tragic accident.
With his music,
Rodrigo has been able to transcend
