Carlos Garaycochea

The story of a bandoneon-loving musician who works as a detective in a hotel and the story of a chemist in love with a widowed woman.

The arrival of the Russian State Circus in Argentina in 1966 was an unprecedented event. For the first time, Soviet artists crossed the Iron Curtain into Latin America. Their art was unsurpassed, until in the 1990s, with the perestroika and the Soviet collapse, the circus also disappeared.

The incredible life story of a man who overcame his sorrows and anguish is captured in the documentary. Such was his determination to live and his innate talent that the forces of fate could not resist him. He became a respected figure in the world of jazz, one everyone wanted in their band.

Life and work of Carlos Garaycochea, one of the great Argentine comedians and capocomics. A life to make people laugh.
