After obtaining an old Boca de Estrella guitar like the one played by tango icon Carlos Gardel, tango musician/guitar collector Patricio Crom sets out to restore the instrument and discover its true sound—and then use it in a concert featuring some of today’s best Argentine tango guitarists. Along the way, Crom explores the different techniques of guitar playing, the challenges of guitar building and restoration, and the enduring passion for the guitar and Carlos Gardel.

The event starts with a short concert by Patricio Crom and Juan Villarreal, continues with the film screening, and ends with a Q & A featuring Director Yael Szmulewicz, as well as Patricio Crom, Juan Villarreal and Meredith Klein.
