Severiano Cárdenas is a failed journalist who, by chance, discovers the way to reach the beginning of the 20th century, where he meets the author of the first tango-song, Pascual Contursi. In the company of Contursi he will share hardships and adventures and will be introduced to the world of tango, until he becomes Carlos Gardel's driver, handyman and confidant. A true period painting through which the tribulations of Severiano Cárdenas slide, a man from the late 20th century who knows everything that will happen before the death of the idol in Medellín in 1935, without being able to avoid it.
