Buenos Aires, November 2001. Argentina is going through (once again) one of the worst economic and social crises in its history. Julio Färber (45), tired of never having a peso, is determined to emigrate with his mother and daughter to Europe, leaving behind his shoe shop, his neighborhood of Nueva Pompeya and his beloved tango group. But life seems to conspire again and again against his decision. “Chau Buenos Aires” tells – in a tragicomedy tone – what happens in Julio’s life, after the Argentine government steals his money by declaring the “Corralito” and a taxi driver his heart. The film, a co-production between Germany and Argentina, was commercially released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and received two audience awards at German festivals. I believe that cinema should entertain and at the same time move the public. That was my goal with ‘Chau Buenos Aires’. To get viewers to laugh, get excited, cry and laugh again by watching the story of Julio and his friends on the screen. A funny, exciting, romantic and tragic story at the same time. Very Argentine and so universal at the same time,” the director said in a press release. Photo: Courtesy of the press
