Synopsis: “Bar El Chino”
Argentine
Director Daniel Burak, who won the Best First Film Award
at the 2004 Argentine Film Critics Association Awards,
shares that “Bar El Chino” is a rundown
bar where the essence of friendship and Tango is still
alive. Friends create an enormous symbolization for
Jorge Garces, also known as “El Chino” (The
Chinese). They are like his family. Just like immigrants
have to “create” a new family of their own
when they emigrate abroad. For Jorge (same name), a
filmmaker, “Bar El Chino” is a special place,
so special that he meets Martina. Together, they will
explore and navigate the passion of documenting the
spirit of Tango, as well as deal with the struggle most
professionals go through when they have to decide to
emigrate abroad. The unexpected changes of life will
mark their destinies and their love. Starring Boy Olmi
and Jimena De La Torre.
