Buenos Aires, November 2001. The city is in the midst of a crisis, with the Argentine Peso plunging deeper and deeper. Amidst this turmoil, we find Julio Färber, a charismatic bandoneon player for the 'Vecinos de Pompeya', a five-piece working-class tango band. Julio is trying to make ends meet, but every month he earns less and less from their gigs and the traditional shoe shop he inherited from his father. As the situation worsens, Julio decides it's time to leave Buenos Aires forever. However, life has other plans for him.
The government freezes all bank accounts in the country overnight, preventing Julio from purchasing his flight tickets and sparking violent protests throughout the city. This sudden turn of events leaves Julio stranded and desperate. He is a man who has lost everything, including his last possession of value. But fate has a peculiar sense of humor, and it's at this moment that Julio's life takes an unexpected turn.
Enter Mariela, a witty young woman and feisty cab driver. She bumps into Julio's car at full speed, damaging his last possession of value. But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. This accident brings Julio and Mariela together, and despite the initial tension, they find themselves drawn to each other. Mariela, with her fiery spirit and sharp wit, steals Julio's heart. As they navigate the chaos of Buenos Aires, their relationship becomes the beacon of hope in a city shrouded in despair. 'Adiós Buenos Aires' is a story of resilience, love, and the power of human connection in the face of adversity.
