The Blue Star film trailer HERE 

A popular 90's musician on the brink of success, throws it away to travel to remote southern Argentina  re-discover his love of music and find Don Carlo, the master of the Chacarera, the folk tango. Part Motorcycle Diaries, part Buena Vista Social Club and all things great film making.

A moving drama inspired by the life of Spanish musician and poet Mauricio Aznar, leader of a series of popular bands trying to go next level.  Aznar has other ideas. He embarks on a self-discovery trip through the Argentinean interior and finds a new passion for life and folk music.

On his journey he meets the welcoming Don Carlos, a veteran musician, a master of the Chacarera, a southern folk tango, who is  going through hard times despite being the author of some of the most famous songs in his country's folklore. He barely manages to pay his bills but  lives simply and happily and music is everywhere

Their unexpected encounter leads to an odd musical alliance that, although it has all the makings of failure, will mark the beginning of an unforgettable  adventure.

The feature directorial debut of Javier Macipe, THE BLUE STAR is a beautifully universal film about the search for one's vocation and a delectable musical journey.
