Living in the United States and estranged from his father and brothers, Darío travels home to Argentina to attend his sister’s wedding and niece's Bat Mitzvah. But his real goal of mending his broken family relationships is thrown into chaos by an unexpected and life-altering event. This hilarious, fast-paced dramedy races through themes of sibling rivalries, family expectations, pregnancies, weddings, funerals, and traditions. And at its center is the quick-talking and slightly neurotic Darío, who is trying desperately - and unsuccessfully - to keep his big mouth shut.
In Spanish, with subtitles.

On Thursday, November 9th, 1961, a well-dressed businessman descended the stairs to the Cavern Club in Liverpool and changed the world forever. Thus begins the tale of Brian Epstein, the man who ‘discovered’ The Beatles and quickly becomes their manager, despite having no experience whatsoever. Epstein’s rise from obscurity to unprecedented global success is seen through the lens of his close-knit family, faithful friends, and a lifelong search for love. An amazing, true story about the ultimate outsider that reframes the story we all thought we knew.
